As is compulsory with any whodunit, details about the upcoming case for Daniel Craig's Benoit Blanc are shrouded in mystery, but new info has recently been revealed to Empire, teasing what could be his most backwards and frankly bonkers investigation yet. After Knives Out and Glass Onion, director Rian Johnson's upcoming threequel, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, will see Blanc in a small New England town that has a priest and his congregation pointing fingers after a very peculiar passing.
“Blanc is seeing it as, ‘It’s just a murder, I can solve this.’ The way the murder presents itself is the opposite of that,” Johnson explains. “It’s framed as an impossible thing that could never have happened, almost miraculous in nature. And Blanc, as the rationalist, is coming in to do what he does, and prove that wrong.”
