Glass Onion Star Drops Surprising Info on Who Will Return in Knives Out 3
Get ready for a thrilling ride as Knives Out 3 promises an exciting cast with possible character returns Will Andi make a comeback? Find out soon!
Janelle Monáe has opened up about the possibility of returning for Knives Out 3 following her starring role in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. Directed by Rian Johnson, the film follows Daniel Craig's detective Benoit Blanc as he solves a murder on a private island in Greece. While the sequel has received positive reviews, Monáe has revealed that audiences shouldn't hold their breath for her character's return. Despite this, she emphasizes that she would love to reprise her role if given the opportunity.
What To Expect From Knives Out 3's Cast
: While I am eager to be a part of Knives Out 3, it seems that Rian Johnson has a strict policy of not casting actors who have already appeared in the previous films, with the exception of Daniel Craig who plays the detective Benoit Blanc. Perhaps I could undergo plastic surgery and assume a new identity to audition for the role. Regardless, I have a deep appreciation for murder mysteries and would relish the opportunity to be involved in this project.
Monáe's recent statements align with Johnson's previous indication that actors who have already appeared in the first two Knives Out movies (excluding Craig) will not be returning for the third installment. This strategy is consistent with the director's overall approach for the franchise, which involves Blanc solving a fresh murder case involving new suspects in a different location every time. Additionally, Johnson has shared that Knives Out 3 will have a unique tone and theme distinct from its predecessors.
The only confirmed cast member for Knives Out 3 thus far is Daniel Craig, who will reprise his role as Blanc. Craig has expressed his enjoyment of the franchise and his character, with Dave Bautista even noting that Craig seemed more comfortable playing Blanc than his previous role as James Bond. The Knives Out movies are also known for their diverse supporting cast, and each installment features a central protagonist such as Ana de Armas' Marta and Janelle Monáe's Andi. It's likely that the third movie will continue this trend with a cast of well-known and talented actors filling the roles of both protagonist and suspects. However, it seems that Monáe's Andi will not be making a return appearance in the upcoming film.
