The makers of Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery have released a poster that gives a first look at Daniel Craig's character, Benoit Blanc, from the film. In the poster, Daniel Craig looks like an older and wiser version of the detective, who has captivated us in Knives Out and Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. The film is being directed by Rian Johnson, who also helmed the first two instalments in the series. Johnson is also producing the film with Ram Bergman under their banner T-Street Pictures.

Apart from Craig, the cast includes Josh Brolin, Jeremy Renner, Mila Kunis, Andrew Scott, Josh O'Connor, Cailee Spaeny, Daryl McCormack, Glenn Close, Kerry Washington, and Thomas Haden Church.

While the makers are yet to reveal plot details for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, Johnson and Craig have hinted that it would be Benoit Blanc's "most dangerous case yet." The film has gone on floors, and it is slated for a 2025 release on Netflix.
