Daniel Craig to return for sequel to Knives Out

Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer announced that he will film a sequel to the murder mystery film Knives Out. The first film's director Rian Johnson previously revealed plans for a sequel that will continue to focus on the detective Benoit Blanc played by Daniel Craig. Daniel Craig expressed his willingness to return, saying, "I'm willing to film anything for Rian, whatever he writes, I'll film."

Earlier this month, Rian Johnson, the director of the first film, revealed plans for a sequel that will continue to focus on the detective Benoit Blanc played by Daniel Craig, who will handle every new case. Johnson also said that he hopes to make the sequel as soon as possible, and the ideal situation is to shoot it next year. Craig later told Entertainment Weekly that if it really happened, he would be willing to return: "Then I would be so happy. I would shoot anything for Rian. I would shoot whatever he wrote. Of course I would, why not? I was so happy to shoot the first one. Every time you shoot a movie, your intention is to have fun, but it rarely comes true, and Knives Out has achieved it. How great is that?"

"Knives Out" was released in the country on November 29, 2019.
