Daniel Craig Says 'Knives Out 2' Will Likely Release Later This Fall

Following his end with the James Bond franchise, Daniel Craig is set to reprise his role as private detective Benoit Blanc in the sequel to 2019’s Knives Out.

In a recent interview with Variety, Craig discussed what it was like filming for Knives Out 2, “We did the second one [in 2021] in Greece, and then we filmed studio work in Serbia. It’s in the can. Rian [Johnson – director] is editing now, and it’ll be out, I think, in the Fall of this year.”

Craig has mentioned in the past that the film is quite different from the original. When speaking with Empire, the actor said he felt very “lucky” to have Johnson “in [his] life.” He added, “He’s such a great writer. That script arrived and I was literally like, ‘Are you kidding me?’ I couldn’t believe that he wanted me to play it. I was going, ‘It says Southern accent you went here. ‘Really?’ And he’s like, ‘Yeah?’ Craig also confirmed at the time, “We’ve just finished the second one, literally weeks ago. They’ve just wrapped up in Serbia. Dare I say it’s better? We’ll see. I don’t want to tempt fate. It’s different, and that’s the amazing thing.”

Those starring alongside Craig include, Ethan Hawke, Kate Hudson, Dave Bautista, Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Madelyn Cline and Jessica Henwick.
