He’s back! Daniel Craig makes his grand return as the brilliant detective Benoit Blanc in the first official teaser for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. The clip, released Monday, gives fans their first taste of the third installment in Rian Johnson’s critically acclaimed mystery franchise.
This time, Blanc is faced with a crime he deems “impossible”—the murder of a priest (Josh Brolin) during a live church service. The teaser trailer is dripping with suspense, setting up a classic whodunit scenario with a modern, dramatic flair that is sure to captivate audiences.
The film is packed with an impressive ensemble cast, including Glenn Close, Kerry Washington, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Josh O’Connor, and Andrew Scott. In addition to the A-list talent, the film debuts a new look for its lead character, with Blanc sporting longer hair and a fashionable three-piece suit.
The movie has already celebrated its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6th. For those eager to solve the mystery, Wake Up Dead Man will be released in select cinemas on November 26th before it streams exclusively on Netflix starting December 12th.
