Knives Out fans, get ready for the highly anticipated Knives Out 3, as Rian Johnson, the creative genius behind the series, is hard at work crafting the next Benoit Blanc mystery. With nearly a year since the last movie, Glass Onion hit Netflix, Johnson recently confirmed his “full force” writing mode for the third instalment. He has the premise, setting, and core idea firmly in mind, and it’s only a matter of putting it all on paper.
He said, “It’s coming along. I obviously couldn’t work during the strike, and now that it’s over, I’m diving in full force, and so it’s coming along. I’ve got the premise, I’ve got the setting, I’ve got what the movie is in my head. It’s just a matter of writing the damn thing.”
Johnson’s approach to the series, much like Agatha Christie’s famous Hercule Poirot novels, promises a tonally and thematically different chapter. While the comedic element that endeared fans will likely remain, we can anticipate an exciting twist in the storyline.
Daniel Craig will reprise his role as Blanc in Knives Out 3, thanks to a deal with Netflix. As for the rest of the cast, details remain under wraps. Fans hope for Noah Segan’s return, given his collaboration with Johnson, and some even dream of Joseph Gordon-Levitt joining the ensemble.
Production timing remains uncertain, but Johnson aims to change the franchise’s subtitle from “Knives Out Mystery” to “A Benoit Blanc Mystery,” aligning it more closely with successful Poirot movies. The Knives Out franchise has been a hit both in theatres and on Netflix, promising another captivating, laughter-filled mystery for fans to eagerly anticipate. With Johnson’s creative prowess, Knives Out 3 is sure to offer unexpected thrills, leaving us craving more of Blanc’s adventures.
