While the Southern detective’s latest case, Wake Up Dead Man, recently hit screens, writer-director Rian Johnson is already planting the seeds for the next mystery, aka Knives Out 4. Johnson recently offered a promising but vague update on the future of his iconic franchise.

In the meantime, Johnson hopes to direct at least one original film before returning to “Knives Out” for another story of Craig’s stately southern detective Benoit Blanc. He says that the “Knives Out” movies are all meant to be products of their time, and therefore, the intricate plots and their surrounding themes cannot be rushed.

A Knives Out Mystery,” starring Daniel Craig, is new on Netflix on Friday. Is Johnson planning on any more cases for Craig’s private detective, Benoit Blanc?

In the whodunnit, the four actors with ties to MCU movies were involved in the crime. Both Josh Brolin’s Monsignor Wicks and Thomas Haden Chruch’s Samson Holt died. And the people responsible for those deaths wound up being Glenn Close’s Martha Delacroix and Jeremy Renner’s Dr. Nat Sharp.

Rian Johnson doesn't think so. The writer-director, who introduced Daniel Craig 's alliterative gentleman detective to the world in 2019's Knives Out, says that he's already begun thinking about preliminary concepts for the next installment in his hit murder mystery movie series.
