If Rian Johnson does one thing right, he packs his films with an all-star cast, and Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery seems to be no exception, as Kerry Washington is the newest member of the ever-growing cast.
Washington joins new cast members Josh O’Connor, Cailee Spaeny, and Andrew Scott. Daniel Craig, confirmed in a teaser posted on social media, is returning for a third outing as fictional legendary detective Benoit Blanc.
Little is known about the plot, as Johnson likes to keep the Knives Out production as mysterious as the films themselves. In the teaser, Daniel Craig narrates that this will be the most dangerous case he’s had yet. Prepare for bloodshed and mystery madness like never before.
