Previously, Wake Up ᴅᴇᴀᴅ Man‘s first teaser promised a darker and more Gothic tone in comparison to its predecessors, featuring Craig’s protagonist leaning toward an observant role in the investigation. The new trailer focuses more on the suspects, teasing fresh dynamics and complications in Blanc’s latest murder case.

Among them, several characters stand out, including the one played by Sherlock‘s Moriarty actor, Andrew Scott, who has a reputation for portraying villains and morally ambiguous roles. It’s unknown whether he’s playing friend or foe in the new Knives Out movie.

Additionally, previously in Glᴀss Onion, Renner’s “Renning H๏τ” sauce stole the spotlight, and the actor is officially joining the cast in the third movie (as a fictional character, not himself). The new trailer features a monologue from Renner’s character, promising a prominent role for the actor.
