Jeremy Renner Cast in 'Knives Out 3': Everything We Know About 'Wake Up Dead Man'

Glenn Close, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott and more stars are also set to join Daniel Craig in the franchise's latest mystery.

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 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, and, as Deadline reported on Thursday, Jeremy Renner(Hawkeye, Mayor of Kingstown). 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.
