Yes!!!!!! The sequel to Knives Out’s sequel Glass Onion has a title and a rough release window. The film will be called Wake Up Dead Man and it will make its premiere sometime in 2025.
While the plot of the film is currently unknown, we do know that it finds Daniel Craig’s gentleman sleuth Benoit Blanc on his most dangerous case yet.
Are there any other clues? Not many. The font of the title is a Medieval-y Blackadder-style font, so perhaps this mystery will have a historical component, like it’s set in a drafty old castle or there’s a centuries-old ghost story on top of the murder mystery at hand.
The title is also keeping with the previous installment’s borrowing of a title from a classic rock song. “Wake Up Dead Man” is a 1997 U2 song. I don’t know what that means!
I hope, personally, that this movie will pit Benoit Blanc up against a foe, a Moriarty-style villain. He needs a nemesis, I think. But whatever Rian Johnson cooks up will doubtlessly be wonderful.
I also hope Rian Johnson is allowed to keep making these movies forever.
Stay tuned for more of our Knives Out series coverage!
