Knives Out 3 resumes production after months. Netflix bought two Knives Out sequels for $469 million. Rian Johnson's 2022 standalone Agatha Christie-inspired mystery Glass Onion stars Daniel Craig's brilliant southern detective.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Johnson announced last October that he had resumed writing the threequel's script after the 2023 writers strike.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Deadline reports Craig will play Benoit Blanc in Knives Out 3 later this year. Johnson and Bergman's T-Street partners included producer Katie McNeill.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Game of Thrones and True Blood's David Benioff, Dan Weiss, and Alexander Woo directed Netflix's 3 Body Problem, which Johnson's T-Street will release.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Christie created Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple, and Johnson has other determined mystery solvers.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The Knives Out director premiered his “howcatchem” mystery show Poker Face in January, starring Natasha Lyonne as Charlie Cale, a former casino worker who can spot lies.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Lyonne briefly appeared in Glass Onion in 2022 before Poker Face's season 1 premiere. After this brief appearance, many suspected Craig's Benoit Blanc and Lyonne's Charlie Cale would work together.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Johnson said Lyonne's Glass Onion cameo was her playing herself on Poker Face, suggesting Knives Out is set there. Blanc knows Charlie but may never meet her.
