Netflix is offering up more Chris Evans in chunky knits (perfect winter watching), as original writer and directorRian Johnson returns to helm the project, with Craig also set to reprise his role as detective Benoit Blanc.
The original film followed the mysterious circumstances around the death of crime novelist HarlanThrombey, with renowned detective Benoit Blanc on the case—who soon discovers the wildlydysfunctional Thrombey family, where everybody is a suspect. Sifting through a web of lies and red herrings, Craig’s character works to uncover the truth alongside Armas’ Marta, the novelists’ nurse.
The film was sparked by Johnson’s love of Agatha Christie novels, according toPeople,who set out to write his own mystery thriller, which secured the writer and Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay.
We don’t know much else about the project yet, but we do know that so many famous faces have signed on to appear. Read on to see which actors have joined theKnives Outsequel.
