The Knives Out movies wouldn’t be as epic without their star-studded cast, and we finally know who’ll be a part of the third installment. Josh O’Connor and Cailee Spaeny will join Daniel Craig in the recently announced Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery.
Not much is known about this film just yet, apart from the fact it will see the world-famous detective Benoit Blanc solve another murder mystery. We’re expecting to learn more about it in the next few weeks since Wake Up Dead Man is set to go into production next month.
In addition to putting a modern twist on the whodunit genre, the previous two films had one more thing in common – their A-list ensemble cast, joining Daniel Craig in the lead role. The third film will be no exception, and it will officially star Josh O’Connor and Cailee Spaeny, while Tom Hardy and Lindsay Lohan are reportedly circling this project.
Josh O’Connor is fresh off leading one of the buzziest films of 2024, Luca Guadagnino’s tennis drama Challengers, and he’s best known for his Emmy-winning portrayal of Princes Charles in The Crown. As for Cailee Spaeny, her star has been on the rise since she won the Volpi Cup for Priscilla, and we’ve seen her make a transition to Hollywood blockbusters with roles in Civil War and Alien: Romulus.
