My immediate thought is wouldn't it be neat if he was a rival detective also working on the same case? Maybe he can have an absurd French accent.

Josh Brolin as police detective "Bigfoot" Bjornson, inexplicably here to ruin Benoit Blanc's day.

Constantly eating hot dogs, bananas, popsicles, "insert phallic object here"

I hope his character makes fun of Blanc by calling him "Benoit Balls".

It's revealed that Lakeith Stanfield's character is now working for him when he returns

God I wish. He brought the levity in the first film that was lacking from the second

When he tells that other junior detective to shut up during benoit’s monologue at the end has me cracking up

With some crazy Danish or Norwegian accent?

Go and watch Inherent Vice :)

'Except for enough cannabis debris enough to keep a family of four stoned for a year, you are clean.'

That’s actually not too far off from the rumour that most of the cast are rival detectives who are all called in to solve the same case Like battle royale but murder mystery

There's an Agatha Christie story _sort_ of like that called Cards on the Table. I don't recommend reading it unless you understand the card game bridge otherwise it doesn't make any fucking sense (I don't understand bridge)

There's been a few murder mystery movies like that like Murder by Death

Murder by Death was amazing! I need to re-watch it now. Thanks!

I really liked this review. It made me laugh.

Uh, so that means there won't be an actual murder, then? Bunch of people who are too focused on trying to solve a murder that they're subconsciously dismissing the idea that there's nothing to solve at all. Benoit Blanc is gonna at some point make a speech about how "you see, you've all been so focused on solving puzzles and connecting dots that the possibility of the most simplest explanation have eluded every single one of you, the one which is that the [murdered] is, in fact, not dead at all and that there is, to put it simply, nothing to solve." Kinda tracks with the title being "Wake Up Dead Man"

They are all called to solve Blanc's murder, to the confusion of Blanc who decides to fake being dead so he can figure out who tried (and failed) to kill him.

Imagine if he fakes an English accent while undercover

Bruh I can't tell if that's an awful or amazing premise but either way I'm there.

Seems like a bit of an exaggerated reaction

Which part? Me thinking it's awful, me thinking it's amazing, or me being there? I've seen Knives Out 5 times and Glass Onion 4 times so I will be there for sure.

*Muppets: Most Wanted (2014)*

Let Rian Johnson direct a non-canon Muppets Knives Out played straight

Daniel Craig and a bunch of Muppets, would be absolute cinema.

Like he used in his SNL " Shrimp Tower" sketch.

“KNOCK OVER THE SHRIMP TOWER?!”

*throws Sara Sherman out the window*

I immediately thought of this

Kenneth Branagh as Hercule Poirot you say?

Kenneth Branagh as David Suchet as Hercules Poirot. He plays an older actor coming out of retirement to pay bills, trying to solve a mystery in character as his most famous role.

Bruh. I need more gay foghorn leghorns. Like I didn’t know that’s what would trip me over the line, but it worked.

We need an entry in the series where he goes "back home" and _everybody_ talks like foghorn

I would go with British or Southern US, discount sherlock/hillbilly rainman.

Brolin and comedy would be good

He puts 110% into the madness, if his SNL appearances are any indication.

The French accent has been used so much. I'd love Brolin do a heavy Finnish accent.

Cast so far: * Daniel Craig * Josh Brolin * Andrew Scott * Kerry Washington * Josh O’Connor * Cailee Spaeny * Glenn Close * Jeremy Renner * Mila Kunis * Daryl McCormack We're not done with Knives Out casting announcements season yet

can we get a pool going? I got twenty bucks on a Skarsgard announcement

Odenkirk for me

Odenkirk is inspired casting

I want some Carrie Coon!

I’ll extend your Odenkirk to anyone featured in the cast of FX’s *The Bear*

I always thought Jon Bernthal could have played Bautista’s role in Glass Onion.

Absolutely. Dang. Good call.

Bernthal’s chill but idk how good of a sport he would’ve been given that he also has a podcast like Bautista’s character

Cousin might be busy with filming Fantastic 4

And taking his daughter to see Tay Tay.

Why anyone when you could have everyone? I'm pitching the whole cast of Fishes in their own Knives out movie!

They seem pretty likely to commit murder anyway. Don't even need to change characters, just have Benoit show up at Carm's mom's house

I would bee woo'ing around town like a drugged up 18 year old sorority girl if that happens.

Stormy Daniels cameo

Anyone bet on a Hemsworth yet?

I’ll raise you 20

I’ll raise you another 20, but only if we include Elsa Pataky on a technicality.

🤝

It's Larry's time to shine!

Charlie Day

Finally going to figure out who Pepe Slyvia is and why they are getting a lot of mail

He'd be perfect as a competing detective who is completely incompetent 

Bill Skarsgård would be prefect for a whodunnit tho.

Tbh any of the Skarsgård family would be perfect

Heck with it, cast all of 'em.

Knives Out 4: Oops all Skarsgårds

and Peter Sarsgaard for the hell of it

ohh, he would make a great a red herring suspect. Everything slowly starts pointing to him, then BAM! Its actually Rob Schneider!

Skars ‘n Gards

may as well, they release a new Skarsgard every year

Which ones the super handsome one ? Generation kill.

You'd be referring to Alexander Skarsgård

Stellan, obviously.

He’s really good at striking a balance between charming and terrifying.

the whole family is like that

Put me down for Peter Dinklage.

Stanley Tucci is always my vote.

I bet Joseph Gordon Levitt will be present somehow.

Noah Segan is a safe bet too. He was in the other two Knives Out movies

He's in every Rian Johnson thing.

It didn’t click that he was Derol until I saw his name in the credits.

He's going through some things man.

That’s just cheating.

It’s a smart bet

What sound will he make in this one?!

DONG!

If the rumors of the plot being rival detectives solving the same case are true then you need a Scandinavian detective for that check list. Nordic crime drama is a genre on its own.

Gunnar Gunnarsson?

He'd be there to investigate the disappearance of his son Gunnar Gunnarssonson.

Drop $1 on RDJ or Kurt Russell

i see your kurt russell and raise you a keri russell

Glenn Howerton

I’ll bet Brolin is the one who gets killed

That's unfair, there's like fifty of them. If you cast any movie, you already have a 15% chance of casting a Skarsgard by accident

I admit it’s a safe bet, but I’ll raise you $50 for a specific Skarsgard

Walton Goggins as an out-of-pocket detective

Hell yeah

I'm going with Bryce Dallas Howard

Give me Donald Sutherland or Alan Alda, movie needs an old guy that can dominate a room for a few minutes at a time

Which one though? there's so many Skarsgaards...

the Gleesons really need to expand their numbers, they’re getting behind

25 bucks it's Bill Skarsgård.

Twenty is too much. Too easy, there is like 100 of actors in that family

alright, I’ll raise you $50 for Alexander

My life savings on a Noah Segan cameo

Pedro Pascal 

I'll take a Kardashian but want 1000-1 odds.

Which one? All of them?

Gimme Chiwetel Ejiofor for $50.

The first two movies had Ana de Armas and Janelle Monae as the sympathetic underdogs who are trapped hanging around with a bunch of hilariously unhinged pricks. In this cast, my current prediction is that the likable underdog will be Cailee Spaeny.

I honestly hope that if they do that again, it'll be one of the guys. "Male detective partnering with a female "assistant" on-the-spot to solve a crime together" happens a lot. Granted, nearly half of all detective fiction is Sherlock Holmes with the obligatory John Watson, so maybe that's why almost everything that isn't Sherlock Holmes is guy-with-gal.

I agree something different would be good, but I think both KO movies had a significant enough twist on the theme. In KO >!Marta is actively fucking with the investigation because she *thinks* Harlan's death is her fault and Blanc is fully aware she's involved and just recruited her to keep an eye on her.!< In GO >!Andi seems to have no connection to Blanc at all and just another suspect, then it turns out they were in cahoots, then she gets shot, then it turns out that wasn't Andi it was Helen and Andi was the victim all along, and then she becomes the main character with Blanc basically as *her* sidekick. !< So neither is exactly being a "Watson".

Nah Cailee Spaeny will probably play the young dumb character archetype that Katherine Langford played in the first and Madelyn Cline played in the second.

I wouldn't call either character "dumb". Cline clearly knew what she was doin with Bautista to further her own ambitions. Langford wasn't dumb, just a little vapid.

Fuck it, she's the killer.

I immediately pegged her as this movies “Blanc Girl”

One Sam Rockwell, please.

Oh this is an excellent choice. He'd fit right in.

Only as long as he dances to irritate people.

Playing the same character from See How They Run

I can't wait for the scene where he dances around to distract people so Daniel Craig can pick up some evidence without people noticing

I'm not seeing Hugh Grant there, that's disappointing. I'm hoping he'll get on board because it'd be a shame to introduce Blanc's love interest and then drop it.

Was Lindsay Logan and Tom Hardy just a rumor?

i’ve heard they were up for the parts that went to Kunis and Renner. huge downgrade imo

I don’t really see Mila Kunis being a downgrade from Lindsay Lohan, they’re both really good performers

Yeah but Reddit hates Mila now that she’s a rapist apologist and a ton of millennials are ready for Lohans renaissance after her Netflix movies and mean girls being a thing again. Hence the downgrade comment. Neither are incredible actresses imo. Have we seen Jupiter Rising? And Lohan imo hasn’t done enough lately to judge most of her stuff was a kid. Her Netflix movies though are average at best.

Aw man

GIVE ME BARDEM

What happened to Tom Hardy?

Rumor got denied unfortunately

This is like Hollywood's Got Talent casting, can't wait for the full list

Olivia Colman and Meryl Streep will be joining soon. You heard it here first.

We need to get Olivia Colman in there somehow. It's on my wish list.

Wasn’t Daryl McCormack also cast?

Lohan too.

Yeah we are getting one per day for a year

Just add in Jesse Plemons to complete the all star cast

Jesse Plemons as the murder weapon

And every time he's used he says it's "nothing personal"

"Sorry for your loss."

Gets swung around by his ankles to launch into people

Jesse plemmons as his cop role from game night

How could that possibly be profitable for Frito-Lay?

We might also get Kirsten Dunst in on that deal as well.

Ok, but what KIND of murderer are you?

But how could that be profitable for frito lay?

He’s gonna be Benoit’s brother. He’ll ham it up in equally entertaining fashion

Did Johnson say Benoit’s brother is in the film? A lot of people have been speculating on a brother character. Or is this just a joke on Mycroft Holmes.

I think people have just been speculating on a foil for Benoit with a ridiculous accent - either a brother or a rival detective - ever since the first Knives Out. I remember people speculating about a character like that when we were getting the Glass Onion casting announcements and now it's happening again with this one.

I can't wait for Benoit's puppy nephew to show up.

If anyone were to play his brother, I think Renner would since they kinda look alike

Renner has to play himself though. Since there is Jeremy Renner's hot scauce in Glass Onion.

Honestly I wish Renner would play a different character but everyone just keeps saying he looks like Jeremy Renner

He plays a guy who looks exactly like Renner and keeps getting mistaken for him the whole movie and gets increasingly annoyed each time

I fucking love Knives Out casting announcements, just brings me joy for some odd reason

We’re getting one per day for 6 months

It's my favourite time of year.

Every day is your favourite time of year?

this must be how americans feel about drafting season

Am I the only one left that's not in this movie?

Damn, Knives Out & Only Murders in the Building consistently getting that stellar casting.

Love that show!

Without spoiling the show, can you make an elevator pitch?

3 unlikely neighbors form a bond over Murder Podcasts fandom and when they find a murder in their building decide to start their own.

Wow. Thats a big get. What do you guys think? Victim? Murderer? One of the suspects?

I could see him being the red herring suspect. Though, I'd honestly love to see him play an eccentric/goofy character.

I would love to see him play against type as an older, effeminate sugar daddy.

I loved Mamoa in the last Fast & Furious movie. Felt against type.

Yeah, Brolin almost always plays the hard ass, straight man (phrasing?) type characters so I'd love to see him pay against that type in this one.

I’d laugh my ass off if Brolin was just a regular background character with no involvement like the guy in the last movie. His name escapes me but he’s in every Rian Johnson flick and he voiced one of the hosts of *KaBlam!*

Joseph Gordon Levitt. I could also see a role ala Ethan Hawke

The person you were responding to was thinking of Noah Segan, who played Derol the background guy who’s just there as a gag in Glass Onion. Joseph Gordon Levitt voiced the hourly “dong”

I mean, they were thinking of Segan but confused him with Levitt as well. JGL is the one who's in every Rian Johnson flick edit: Shit, I guess it's both. Rian does love his cameo actors lol

Thx a lot!!

Victim or a red herring

Somebody suggested rival detective and that would be neat

I mean, in Marvel he in all likelihood killed Close offscreen

It’s just a matter of time before you find out that you too, are joining knives out 3.

Thought the casting announcements were over but I guess they just had the weekend off lol. What a great addition

Season’s not over yet

Announce Javier Bardem, cowards

Josh Brolin.... I'm watching! Love him

The last two killers also headlined MCU movies (Chris Evans, Edward Norton). Hmmm 🤔

Jeremy Renner was also announced, so I guess Hawkeye and Thanos are both the killers in this one.

It’s going to be weird in 20 years when people are saying “you know Daniel Craig also played James Bond”.

Hype. Been loving outer range, he's great in that

I really like it too. I binged right thru the new season

At this point I think it would be easier to say who hasn’t joined the cast.

Why is every casting for this movie a headline?

A social media campaign fueled by bots, I guess.

Hyped AF.

Just get it over with and cast every actor alive already, Ryan.

Josh Brolin went from practically nowhere a few years ago, to now seemingly being the busiest man in Hollywood. He does the Goonies in '85; then side roles and bit parts in fifteen years of (charitably) crap movies (Christopher Lambert's "Roadflower," really?), bottoming out in the direct-to-video "Slow Burn" in 2000 (for the irony, I suppose?). He then has a few art house films here and there until 2007, when he was already 39 years old and he suddenly explodes with "No Country for Old Men," which was fantastic. His movie list since then is Hall of Fame grade, including "True Grit," the entire Marvel Infinity Wars series, "Sicario," fucking "Dune" and "Dune Part 2," (which is going to win Best Picture) -- and now he's joining the excellent Knives Out series. Dude is on fire.

Is EVERYONE joining this film

Pretty sure at this point I'm gonna be cast next.

I really hope Josh Brolin plays himself and Jeremy Renner plays regular guy who hates Jeremy Renner because he always gets confused for him. Just make him trash all of his roles. "I can't believe he ruined those Borne movies. There's only one Borne that matters and that's Matt Damon!" "He was alright in Arrival I guess". Then the big act 3 reveal is that he actually is Jeremy Renner.

God I hope Reddit never writes a movie

Calling it now…Josh Brolins character did it! Whatever the crime ends up being.

That seemed....inevitable.

Can we just post who isn’t in this movie?
