Top 5 Hopes for Knives Out 3

1. The Resurgence of Ransom and Miles

With each installment of the Knives Out franchise, a new villain is revealed. In Knives Out, it was Ransom, played by Chris Evans, who manipulated events to his advantage. In Glass Onion, Edward Norton's character, Miles, orchestrated a deceptive plot. Both characters faced the consequences of their actions, yet their potential return in Knives Out 3 brings an intriguing prospect of vengeance, possibly working together to take down Detective Blanc, the common thread in their downfalls.
