Knives Out sequel will have an entirely new cast except for Daniel Craig’s Benoit Blanc

We don’t know what to expect from a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Knives Out sequel &💎ndash; but the prospect compels us. Rian Johnson’s subversive mystery is back for a second stab at the whodunnit genre, though it sounds like only Daniel Craig’s Benoit Blanc will be returning from the original cast.

In conversation with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Devil All The Time director Antonio Campos for (side-note: we were also in conversation with Campos recently, which you can read here), Johnson laid out his vague planඣs for what’s next for Knives Out – and it starts with a blank page.

“It’s been such a mindfuck, because I sat on the idea for the first one for 10 years. And with this one, I’m starting with a blank page,” Johnson said. “It’s 𒆙not really a Knives Out sequel. I need to come up with a title for it so I can stop calling it The Knives Out Sequel because it’s just Daniel Craig as the same detective with a totally new cast.”

Of course, we don’t know the hole – sorry, whole – story yet, but it’s a good enough start. For one thing, it’s looking like it might not be called Knives Out꧅ 2: Electric Boogaloo (or any other variation of Knivಌes Out, but I imagine the marketing team will soon have a say in that).

Perhaps most importantly, no return of Chris Evans’ shit-eating grin, nor Ana de Armas’ barftastic siไdekick, Marta. The latter exclusion is a shame as she definitely had potential to be a long-term Watson to Craig’s southern Sherlock.

Knives Out 2 is all but official, meanwhile, with it being called a “Lionsgate franchise” 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:during an earnings call in February. N𝔉ow we wait for the 💙next mystery to be solved: who’s going to appear opposite Daniel Craig?
