In a fresh snapshot from “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery,” fans get a glimpse of Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc, who is now joined onscreen by potential James Bond actor Josh O’Connor. The picture finds them both in a church, gazing at something beyond the frame. This is the initial sneak peek of O’Connor in the movie; his attire suggests he might be playing a priest that Blanc interacts with during his pursuit of a new enigma. Craig has adopted a different look for this installment as the renowned detective, noticeable through his longer hair and facial hair.
The image was unveiled simultaneous to Netflix revealing their movie and TV lineup for 2025. Wake Up Dead Man, which is one of several high-profile releases, will premiere on the streaming platform this autumn. At present, an exact launch date remains undisclosed. Kindly view the picture displayed here:

The third movie in Rian Johnson’s Knives Out series, titled “Glass Onion,” premiered in 2022. This franchise kicked off back in 2019 with the critically acclaimed film that grossed a whopping $312.8 million globally, inspiring spin-offs. Netflix acquired rights to two sequels, and “Glass Onion” was the first to be released. Similar to its predecessor, it garnered positive reviews and was even nominated for an Oscar in the screenplay category.
Just as the last two films did, Wake Up Dead Man features a high-profile cast led by Craig. Alongside him are stars such as Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Mila Kunis, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, and others. It’s uncertain if Netflix will release this film in theaters, but Craig expresses optimism that it might have an extended stay on the big screen. Much like Glass Onion, its theater run was brief to qualify for awards consideration.
As I ponder over this image that doesn’t reveal much about the Wake Up Dead Man narrative, it does spark curiosity given the latest news surrounding the James Bond franchise. O’Connor is one of many names tossed around as potential successors to Daniel Craig’s 007 role. The actor himself has weighed in on this speculation, attributing it to a joke he shared during an Actors on Actors episode with Craig.
If chosen, O’Connor, who’s gaining recognition from his work in Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers, would make an intriguing Bond. However, the franchise seems to be at a standstill right now due to disagreements between longtime producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson and Amazon, the parent company of MGM, over the series’ future. This dispute is slowing down the development of Bond 26, which means by the time it’s ready for takeoff, O’Connor might no longer be in the running for the role.
Regarding the upcoming film “Wake Up Dead Man, fans may have to satisfy their anticipation with this single teaser image for now. Since it’s not set to hit Netflix until fall, there’s no immediate need for a full promotional campaign, so we might not see a trailer until later in the year. In the interim, cinema enthusiasts can ponder if “Wake Up Dead Man” will feature James Bonds from different eras interacting with each other.
