He’s back and facing his greatest challenge yet. Daniel Craig reprises his role as Benoit Blanc in the first teaser for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, and this time, he’s up against an “impossible” murder. The clip promises another thrilling, high-stakes investigation from Rian Johnson.
The teaser reveals the shocking premise: a Catholic priest, played by Josh Brolin, is murdered in plain sight during Mass. This audacious crime kicks off a mystery that will require all of Blanc’s intellect and intuition to unravel, as he navigates a world of secrets and lies.
The film boasts a star-studded ensemble, with Glenn Close, Kerry Washington, Mila Kunis, and Jeremy Renner joining the cast. In this installment, Benoit Blanc has a new look, with longer hair and a sharp three-piece suit that gives him a fresh and sophisticated edge.
Following its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, Wake Up Dead Man is now gearing up for its global debut. The film will be in select theaters from November 26th and will be available to stream on Netflix from December 12th.
