Daniel Craig’s Bold New Look in Knives Out 3 Will Shock You!

by

Netflix recently unveiled a fresh peek at Daniel Craig‘s character Benoit Blanc in the upcoming Knives Out sequel, titled Wake Up Dead Man (or simply Knives Out 3). Over the past decade or so, the Knives Out franchise has stood out as one of the most captivating, with its debut film hitting screens in 2019. Starring Daniel Craig, Ana de Armas, Chris Evans, and an impressive ensemble cast, this delightful murder mystery was a cut above due to its clever script penned by Rian Johnson. It served as a refreshing break following Star Wars: The Last Jedi and introduced fans to a brand new original series spearheaded by one of the finest actors in the industry.

The film “Knives Out” turned out to be extremely successful, opening up opportunities for Rian Johnson and Daniel Craig to create new mystery films every few years, with only Craig as a constant cast member. This duo collaborated with Netflix on a significant deal to continue producing these movies. In 2022, they released “Glass Onion” on the streaming platform during the holiday season, along with a limited theatrical screening. The movie was another success, but some viewers, including Daniel Craig himself, were disappointed that the Knives Out series primarily focused on streaming, rather than having a broader theatrical release like the first film did before the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite Netflix offering a small theatrical run, it paled in comparison to the initial movie’s success.

Knives Out 3: Daniel Craig’s Benoit Blanc Sports a New Look in Wake Up Dead Man

Despite not knowing much about it yet, the third movie in the Knives Out series, titled “Wake Up Dead Man,” is set to hit Netflix later this year. The film’s star-studded cast includes Jeremy Renner, Cailee Spaney, and Josh Brolin, among others, who will be joining Daniel Craig as he reprises his role as the southern detective. In this installment, Craig’s character, Benoit Blanc, sports a fresh new look, a sneak peek of which was revealed in Netflix’s Tudum trailer.

As a cinephile, I must say that the enigmatic detective has undergone a noticeable makeover this time around. Sporting longer locks, stylish sunglasses, and an overcoat, he presents quite a different image compared to his past appearances. Whether it’s to add intrigue or simply mix things up, I can’t help but wonder if there’s a deeper significance behind these changes. After all, Benoit Blanc is known for his impeccable sense of style, so perhaps he’s just experimenting with a new hairstyle. Regardless of the reason, Craig remains as captivating as ever, and I eagerly anticipate his return to our screens later this year.

The Tudum event hosted by Netflix on May 31st is set to reveal fresh details and trailers about upcoming Netflix productions, including the much-anticipated “Wake Up Dead Man.” Given that the film completed production last fall, it’s plausible that we might see its official trailer and potentially release date during this event. Traditionally, both movies in this series have been released around the holiday season, so a repeat could be expected. However, considering the film seems to lean towards a spookier theme, there’s speculation that Netflix may choose to release it closer to Halloween. Regardless, having another Knives Out movie scheduled for later this year is exciting news!
