Daniel Craig Hopes Netflix Gives Knives Out 3 a Proper Theatrical Release

As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for intricate narratives and captivating mysteries, I’ve been eagerly awaiting the next installment of the Knives Out series. Daniel Craig‘s Benoit Blanc is a character that has truly captured my imagination, and I can’t help but feel a pang of disappointment when I think about the limited theater run of Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.


Daniel Craig is optimistic that Netflix might extend the theater run of Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (or Knives Out 3) beyond a single week.

In the year 2019, Craig made his debut as detective Benoit Blanc in the movie “Knives Out”. This film was handled by Lionsgate for distribution and officially hit theaters nationwide in November of the same year.

Netflix secured the rights to distribute the sequel, “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.” The film had a limited one-week run in theaters in November 2022, followed by its addition to Netflix streaming service the following month. Notably, this is the broadest release Netflix has ever undertaken for a movie.

It’s worth mentioning that in 2025, Netflix plans to debut the third installment of the Knives Out series titled “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery”. The specific details about its release format have not been disclosed yet.

What did Daniel Craig say about Knives Out 3’s release?

In a conversation, Craig expressed optimism that Netflix might extend the theater run for Knives Out 3 compared to Glass Onion.

He expressed his hope that Netflix might release the movie a bit earlier so that people could enjoy watching it in theaters with their families, which seems to be what they really desire.

As a fervent admirer, I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be joining forces with Craig yet again for the upcoming Knives Out 3. The stellar cast includes Josh O’Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, Daryl McCormack, and Thomas Haden. Remarkably, Rian Johnson, the mastermind behind Knives Out and Glass Onion, is making a comeback to pen and direct this new cinematic adventure.

Plot details for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery remain under wraps at this time.
