Rian Johnson’s Knives Out threequel, Wake Up Useless Man, has simply revealed two of the brand new stars.

UPDATE: Effectively, that didn’t take lengthy. Within the few days since Rian Johnson introduced he was making a 3rd Knives Out film, Wake Up Useless Man, two solid members have already been introduced – and so they’re buzzy. Recent off of his position in Challengers, Josh O’Connor jumps into the newest whodunit, together with Priscilla, Civil Battle and Alien: Romulus star Cailee Spaeny. After all, they’re simply the primary two in what’s certain to be one other star-studded solid. Count on the remainder of the solid to be revealed quickly, as just about everybody desires to be in these films, so I think about Rian Johnson has his decide.

ORIGINAL STORY: Author/director Rian Johnson obtained the title for his 2019 homicide thriller Knives Out from a Radiohead track. When it got here time to make the 2022 sequel Glass Onion, he obtained the title from a track by The Beatles. So it’s solely becoming that the third movie within the franchise have a song-inspired title as effectively. However whereas Radiohead and The Beatles had been from England, the band that impressed the third title originates from Eire. The band is U2, and the title for the third Knives Out film comes from their track Wake Up Useless Man. Johnson made the title announcement by sharing the video that’s embedded above.

No plot particulars have been revealed, however we are able to depend on Daniel Craig to reprise the position of personal investigator Benoit Blanc within the new movie. Like Glass Onion, Wake Up Useless Man will probably be launched via the Netflix streaming service. Right here’s the logline: Benoit Blanc returns in his most harmful case but.

Again in January of 2023, Johnson advised Empire Journal that the follow-up to Knives Out and Glass Onion can be his subsequent movie as a result of “it’s probably the most thrilling factor proper now to me. That’s served me very well. I really feel like several film I’m making, I must be making it as a result of I can’t think about doing anything. I’m leaping into the following Benoit Blanc subsequent as a result of I can’t take into consideration one other story.”

We’ve got to deal with the truth that the total title for Glass Onion is definitely Glass Onion: A Knives Out Thriller, and the total title for Wake Up Useless Man is Wake Up Useless Man: A Knives Out Thriller. Hopefully Johnson has made his peace with these prolonged titles, as a result of he was upset about it when A Knives Out Thriller obtained slapped onto Glass Onion. He advised The Atlantic, “I’ve tried exhausting to make them self-contained. Truthfully, I’m pissed off that we’ve A Knives Out Thriller within the title. I would like it to simply be referred to as Glass Onion. I get it, and I would like everybody who favored the primary film to know that is subsequent within the sequence, but additionally, the entire enchantment to me is it’s a brand new novel off the shelf each time. However there’s a gravity of a thousand suns towards serialized storytelling.“
