Get Those Sweaters Ready: There's A Knives Out Sequel On The Way

Get ready, gumshoes. There's a Knives Out sequel in the works.


Writer and director Rian Johnson confirmed that there's more coming down the pipeline any time it comes to everyone's preference holiday 2019 whodunit.


Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter at Lionsgate's pre-Golden Globes bash on Saturday (January 4), Johnson reported that he's already hard at work on a sequel that would center on Daniel Craig's character Benoit Blanc. The piano-plinking private detective with a Southern drawl will be headed out on a new case, and Johnson is looking to move rapidly to bring the movie to life.


"Daniel had so much fun doing it, and he wants to do more," mentioned Ram Bergman, Johnson's producing partner. It's possible the movie would be realized in the second year or so.


The original Knives Out made a cool $247 million in box office sales, and cost an announced $40 million to create. It was up for three Golden Globe awards on Sunday (December 6), including best comedy/musical picture, best comedy/musical actor for Daniel Craig, and best comedy/musical actress for Ana de Armas. Yet didn't just be taking any of those residence. It's a lucrative property right now, to mention the least.


Right now, the question arises. If there's a sequel in the works to Knives Out, will we visualize the return of Chris Evans' infamous snuggly sweater? Given way the opening movie ended, it's probably unlikely. Nevertheless maybe he'll have passed it on to another member of the family member by then. Either way, we can't wait up until there's an official announcement for this potential film. We may all do with another holiday mystery to wrap up the year.


And this time, it may even be a tougher nut to crack than Harlan Thrombey's death. You're probably going wish to play plenty of Clue to sharpen up more before then.
