Daniel Craig is back in the spotlight as detective Benoit Blanc for his third outing in Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery—and the “wicked wolves” are already circling, according to the newly dropped trailer. “How lucky am I?” Craig quips, reflecting on his return after Knives Out and Glass Onion.
But luck may be in short supply for Blanc this time. The suave Southern sleuth faces what he calls a “perfectly impossible” case, one that pushes even his finely tuned instincts to their limits. “This goes way beyond normal police work. This is something even I have not experienced,” he warns, setting the tone for Rian Johnson’s most daring mystery yet.
The trailer teases danger, tension, and the signature wit that has defined the franchise—only this time, the stakes cut deeper. With cryptic clues and ominous forces at play, Blanc’s sharp mind may be the only thing standing between order and chaos.
Wake Up Dead Man is showing now in theaters. Coming to streaming on Netflix starting Dec. 12.
