Knives Out 3 is now in production. The third film in Rian Johnson’s murder mystery franchise is Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. The film stars Cailee Spaeny, who will star in Alien: Romulus in August.

In an interview with Total Film, Spaeny explained why her enthusiasm for Knives Out 3 stems from working with Johnson, a unique filmmaker with an 'old-school' approach.
“Rian is a very rare breed. You just don’t get filmmakers like him anymore,” Spaeny explained. “The intelligence… the equal parts intelligence, and saying something, and also pure entertainment, and a director who really feels old-fashioned in the way he speaks the language of a director. Everything in him, he’s just made to do this.”
Like its predecessors, Knives Out 3 features an all-star cast led by Daniel Craig as Detective Benoit Blanc. Working with an A-list cast can be daunting, but Spaeny is up for the challenge.
