The Last Jedi director's Knives Out 3 gets cryptic first teaser at Netflix Tudum – and finally confirms a release date
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Daniel Craig's well-dressed detective Benoit Blanc returns in an exclusive sneak peek for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery - that confirms the long-awaited movie's release date. In the very brief clip, which can be viewed below, Benoit is wearing quite the wig... while a haunting song plays over a montage of clips that see the A-list cast looking rather somber. The clip also reveals the release date, which is set for December 12 (just as we predicted). The threequel, which will once again see Blanc try to solve a head-scratchingly twisty whodunnit, is set to be another star-studded affair. Jeremy Renner, Josh O'Connor, Kerry Washington, Thomas Haden Church, Daryl McCormack, Cailee Spaeny, Josh Brolin, Andrew Scott, Mila Kunis, and Glenn Close make up the ensemble cast – and now we finally know who everyone is playing... Last time we saw Blanc, he was flexing his sleuthing chops in 2022's Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, where he and several others were invited to the secluded Greek island of tech billionaire Miles Bron (Edward Norton). When one of the guests winds up dead, Blanc must identify the killer before it's too late. Before Glass Onion was made available to Netflix subscribers on December 23, it indulged in a limited one-week release in select cinemas back in late November. "I want this in as many theaters for as long as possible," Johnson previously said of Wake Up Dead Man in an interview with Business Insider. "We're going to push for everything we can get in terms of theatrical because I want as many people as possible to see it in that form." Despite its brief big-screen run, Glass Onion pulled in a respectable $15 million at the global box office.

Netflix Shares First Look and Release Date for ‘Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery'
Wake up, release date. At Netflix Tudum 2025: The Live Event, the streamer announced that writer and director Rian Johnson's third installment in the 'Knives Out' series will debut on Friday, December 12. Johnson also previewed footage from 'Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery,' which sees Daniel Craig returning as Benoit Blanc alongside Jeremy Renner, Cailee Spaeny, Andrew Scott, Mila Kunis, Thomas Haden Church, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Kerry Washington, Josh O'Connor and Daryl McCormack. 'This is the third Benoit Blanc movie that we've made. And one thing that we try and do — that we strive to do with each one of them — is to keep the audience guessing,' Johnson said at the event. 'It's really important for us to figure out new ways every time, so that just when you think you have it figured out, a new twist comes along that you weren't expecting. And that's what makes these movies special.'

Its sequel 'Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery,' however, was picked up by Netflix and only given a limited, 696-screen release — grossing $15 million in just one week — before moving exclusively to Netflix on Dec. 23, 2022. Johnson told Business Insider earlier this month that he didn't think theatrical releases were going anywhere. 'We've seen, if you put a movie people want to see in the theaters, they are going to show up for it, and that experience of being in a full house and having that experience is so important,' Johnson said. 'It's something that I love and I want more of in the world.' But Netflix has had a cagey relationship with theaters. Last September, co-CEO Ted Sarandos said at the Royal Television Society's London Convention that theatrical releases are a 'fairly insufficient way to distribute some movies,' according to THR. Benoit Blanc himself previously stated he hoped 'Wake Up Dead Man' would stay in theaters longer than its processor. 'The people I speak to — the fans, I suppose — all they want to do is take their families and go see it at the cinemas,' Craig said. The cryptic sneak preview, stayed true to the tease Johnson posted a year ago, when he celebrated the 'malleable' nature of the whodunit. 'There's a whole tonal spectrum from Carr to Christie, and getting to explore that range is one of the most exciting things about making Benoit Blanc movies,' he wrote.

KNIVES OUT: WAKE UP DEADMAN Teaser Trailer Reveals New Mystery and Release Date — GeekTyrant
Netflix dropped the first official sneak peek for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery during its Tudum 2025 presentation, and it teases a new mystery and revealed the movie will arrive on December 12, 2025. This will be the third entry in Rian Johnson's modern whodunit series, following 2019's Knives Out and 2022's Glass Onion . Both were critical and audience hits, with Daniel Craig's flamboyant Southern sleuth quickly becoming a fan favorite. The new film comes as the final installment in Johnson's two-film deal with Netflix, but it may not be the last time we see Blanc, depending on how things contune to go with the franchise. The cast for Wake Up Dead Man is, as usual, loaded with talent and Craig is joined this time by Jeremy Renner, Josh O'Connor, Kailee Spaeny, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Andrew Scott, Glenn Close, Kerry Washington, Daryl McCormack, Annie Hamilton, Kerry Frances, and Thomas Haden Church. As for what the story entails, Netflix is still keeping that part under wraps. But Johnson's comments from a previously interview offer a clue about just how different this one might be from what's come before. 'As long as Daniel [Craig] still wants to keep doing it and as long as we have an idea that, to us, feels not just like cranking another one out, but feels genuinely exciting and scary like, 'Oh, wow, could we pull that off?' 'I love the genre. It's endlessly malleable, and so it holds endless possibilities. But at the same time, I have made three of them in a row. I don't feel burnt out on it at all, but the next thing I have in my head to write is an original that's not a mystery at all. It's a totally different genre. 'One of the things I love about the mystery genre is that it holds the whodunit. Like sci-fi, it encompasses so many other types of genres. Wake Up Dead Man, this next movie, is so different than Glass Onion. It's like night and day. And so, as long as we keep doing that, it's exciting.' Each one of these films reshuffles the deck, takes big swings, and that's what mades these movies so fun. So while Wake Up Dead Man might be the end of the Netflix contract, it doesn't feel like the end of the road. If Craig's still having fun and Johnson keeps finding ways to twist the genre, Benoit Blanc's southern drawl may echo for a while longer. Wake Up Dead Man premieres on Netflix December 12, 2025.

Jeremy Renner Details Experiencing Death During Snow Plow Accident "I Didn't Want to Come Back" — GeekTyrant
Marvel actor Jeremy Renner went through a death-defying accident and recovery two years ago that he is just now fully detailing in his recently-published memoir, 'My Next Breath.' In the book, he says he briefly experienced what he believes was death during the 2023 New Year's Day snow plow accident that nearly cost him his life. In a recent follow-up interview on Kelly Ripa's 'Let's Talk Off Camera' podcast, the Oscar nominee described this moment as 'a great relief.' 'It's a wonderful, wonderful relief to be removed from your body,' Renner said. 'It is the most exhilarating peace you could ever feel. You don't see anything but what's in your mind's eye. Like, you're the atoms of who you are, the DNA, your spirit. It's the highest adrenaline rush, but the peace that comes with it… it's magnificent. It's so magical.' 'I didn't want to come back,' Renner continued. 'I remember I was brought back and I was so pissed off. I came back, I'm like, 'Aww!' I came back and saw [my] eyeball and I'm like, 'Oh shit, I'm back.' Saw my legs. I'm like, 'Yeah, that's gonna hurt later.' I'm like, 'All right, let me continue to breathe.'' Renner wrote in his book that he briefly died about 30 minutes after his Sno-Cat, a large snow plow that weighs at least 14,330 pounds, ran him over as he was saving his nephew from injury. Renner ultimately regained consciousness and was hospitalized for blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries. His injuries included eight ribs broken in 14 places, a broken right knee and ankle, a broken left leg tibia and ankle, a broken right clavicle and shoulder and more. 'I could see my lifetime,' he writes in the book. 'I could see everything all at once. In death, there was no time, no time at all, yet it was also all time and forever.' Speaking to Ripa, Renner added that feeling like 'a man that didn't want to come back' has made him now 'really be able to be back here and live it on my terms as the captain of my own ship. And get on it or off it, I don't give a fuck. I'm going to live life on my own terms and for nobody else. [It's] very clear. The white noise is ripped away.' After spending nearly a year in recovery, Renner has since gone on to return to acting via his Paramount+ original drama series Mayor of Kingstown . He also filmed a role in Rian Johnson's next 'Knives Out' movie, aptly called Wake Up Dead Man , which is coming to theaters and Netflix this fall. via: Variety
