First Look at Daniel Craig in 'Knives Out 3': Everything We Know About 'Wake Up Dead Man'

Daniel Craig returns as Detective Benoit Blanc in the upcoming third 'Knives Out' film.

At this point, it's easy to imagine that writer-director Rian Johnson creates some sort of Thanos-type gauntlet for each installment of the Knives Out franchise -- assembling as many talented A-list performers as he can to join Daniel Craig's Detective Benoit Blanc in his newest, twist-packed mystery. Casting information for Wake Up Dead Man started to roll in after the film's announcement, with Craig to be joined by stars like Josh O'Connor( The Crown, Challengers), Cailee Spaeny( Priscilla, Civil War), Andrew Scott( Fleabag, Ripley), Kerry Washington( Scandal, Little Fires Everywhere), Glenn Close( The Wife, The New Look), Jeremy Renner( Hawkeye, Mayor of Kingstown), Mila Kunis( Bad Moms, Luckiest Girl Alive), Daryl McCormack ( Good Luck to You, Leo Grande), Josh Brolin( Avengers: Endgame, Dune franchise) and Thomas Haden Church( Spider-Man 3, Easy A). Since then, however, the Irish actor -- who gained early career recognition for his chilling Moriarty on the BBC's Sherlock-- has gone on to starring roles in acclaimed films like All of Us Strangers and TV series like Ripley, leaving the door wide open as to what kind of character he'll bring to the franchise.
