Batista joins Knives Out 2, role unknown

Dave Bautista joins the crime suspense comedy "Knives Out 2" in an undisclosed role. Daniel Craig returns to star, and Rian Johnson returns to direct and write. Netflix previously spent about $450 million to acquire the rights to the two sequels, one of the most expensive streaming movie deals in history, and the second one is about to start shooting in Greece.

"Knives Out" tells the story of detective Blanco (Craig) being hired to investigate a mysterious case: the wealthy novelist Harlan Sloanby died mysteriously after his 85th birthday, leaving behind a huge inheritance, and every member of this family is not simple. Ana de Armas, Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Don Johnson, Toni Collette, LaKeith Stanfield, Christopher Plummer, Katherine Langford, Jaden Martell and others participated.
