Rian Johnson is not letting anybody neglect about his ongoing whodunit saga starring Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc, because the third film has simply acquired a title (Wake Up Useless Man) and a tentative launch window.
The announcement, which got here via Netflix’s official channels in addition to the filmmaker’s social media, is only a small tease and the promise of the threequel hitting Netflix in some unspecified time in the future throughout 2025, however followers are already arising with all kinds of untamed theories in regards to the plot.
In late 2023, we examine Johnson being proper in the course of writing the script for his third Benoit Blanc thriller, and it looks as if the method has been as clean as his previous efforts. We additionally knew a fundamental remedy had been locked for years now, so it was only a matter of engaged on a ultimate script and kicking off pre-production. It now seems like we might be listening to in regards to the solid for his subsequent film sooner fairly than later.
Wake Up Useless Man: A Knives Out Thriller will arrive roughly three years after Glass Onion, which additionally got here out after an identical time period following the shock success of Knives Out and Netflix touchdown the rights to Johnson’s deliberate sequels. Not even the Hollywood-crushing Covid pandemic was capable of decelerate Johnson’s inventive course of and filming on the sequel, so it would not come as a shock that Wake Up Useless Man is not skipping 2025 except the studio hits a significant highway bump or reshuffles its launch schedule.

The truth is, Netflix is a kind of studios/platforms that prefer to withhold launch dates and advertising campaigns for so long as doable, given their historically packed slates and what number of rivals they’ve.
