Daniel Craig returns as Benoit Blanc in the latest installment of the Rian Johnson murder mystery series alongside Josh O'Connor as earnest priest Jud Duplenticity

Like the previous two Knives Out mysteries, Wake Up Dead Man doesn't shy away from current events and modern politics. And that's by design.

With Wake Up Dead Man, Johnson takes a big swing, removing his protagonist from the equation for a big chunk of the movie and letting a brand-new character take centre stage. Shaking up the Knives Out structure is an act of faith in the audience on the writer-director's part, as he told Digital Spy.

Here’s everything to know about the real-life loves of Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. The only cast member to return for all three Knives Out films, Daniel Craig stars as Benoit Blanc, an unusually sharp detective famous for his ability to solve unsolvable cases.

Steve Yedlin, the cinematographer of Wake Up Dead Man, tells /Film how they pulled off that great "sun going behind the clouds" effect in the church.

Hello, I'm Daniel Craig. And I'm Rian Johnson [laughs]. I'm sorry. Hello, I'm Daniel Craig.
