Rian Johnson is putting all of his effort into writing Knives Out 3 now that the writers' strike is over.

In the third installment, fans can anticipate the demise of a wealthy individual and the efforts of Daniel Craig's character, Benoit Blanc, to unravel the murder. Having enjoyed the first two films, which offered a welcomed respite from extravagant blockbusters, fans are eagerly awaiting to discover the next intriguing mystery that Blanc will tackle.

Fans of Knives Out and Glass Onion will be delighted to hear the exciting update from writer and director Rian Johnson regarding the highly anticipated third installment of the franchise. Known for his mastery of the murder mystery genre since his debut film, Brick (2005), Johnson's Knives Out became an instant sensation, breathing new life into the whodunit genre and generating enough enthusiasm from fans to warrant a sequel. In addition to his success with Knives Out, Johnson has also created the intriguing murder mystery series, Poker Face, which has been renewed for a second season on Peacock. What sets Johnson's latest projects apart is his continuous commitment to reinventing the formula of his whodunits, ensuring a fresh and captivating experience for audiences.

In an interview with The Wrap, Johnson reveals that, now that the writers' strike is over, he is fully dedicated to writing Knives Out 3. "I'm diving in full force since the strike is over," Johnson said. "I have the premise, the setting, and the overall vision for the movie in my head. It's just a matter of putting it all down on paper." Although Johnson doesn't have a completed script yet, he definitely has a clear outline of the film in mind.

Johnson has not yet disclosed any details about his forthcoming plans for Knives Out 3. However, if the pattern of the previous two films is followed, audiences can anticipate the mysterious demise of a wealthy individual, with Daniel Craig's character, Benoit Blanc, endeavoring to unravel the puzzle. In a separate interview, Johnson expressed his desire to move away from the previous subtitle, "A Knives Out Story," which was associated with Glass Onion. Although the title for the third installment has not yet been announced, it is hoped that Johnson will soon reveal it along with a new subtitle.

It is delightful to learn that Johnson has a vision for Knives Out 3 and will commence the writing process soon. The initial film served as a remarkable murder mystery, offering a welcome change from the overwhelming number of blockbuster films dominating the cinema. The sequel, Glass Onion, successfully carried on the anthology series' charm and intrigue while standing on its own merits. Hopefully, Johnson can maintain this triumph in Knives Out 3. Fans are now left pondering the enigma that Benoit Blanc will tackle next, the ensemble cast that will be involved, and the potential involvement of The Muppets.
