Andrew Scott Joins Wake Up, Dead Man

Variety exclusively reports that Andrew Scott (Ripley, All of Us Strangers, Sherlock) has signed onto Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, the third in Rian Johnson’s murder-mystery comedy series. Josh O’Connor and Cailee Spaeny have also been cast in unnamed roles. At this time, the plot and character details for the next film in the locked-room mystery series are unknown. Wake Up Dead Man is preceded by Knives Out in 2019 and Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery in 2022. This series is known for creating Detective Benoit Blanc, the colorful Southern detective played by Daniel Craig. The film’s title was announced by Rian Johnson on Twitter a few days ago.

He is an amazing actor! He acted in Sherlock a couple years ago and he made an excellent bad guy. Very sinister and eery he is definitely a great pick for these films. He was also in James Bond so he has worked with Daniel before.
