The first look at Rian Johnson’s nextKnives Outmovie, which is officially titled Wake Up Dead Man, has been revealed… and just like Benoit Blanc when he stumbles across a corpse, we’ve got a lot of questions.

Posted bythe sequel’s social media pages on June 10, the image sees Daniel Craig’s detective wearing an expectedly dapper ensemble: a three-piece suit, with a crisp shirt and dressy tie. No neckerchiefs in sight this time around… Blanc looks to be holding a fedora hat, too, and sporting a new longer hair ‘do and facial stubble.

But it’s the fact that the snap, taken by Johnson himself, is in black and white that has caught our – and fans’ – attention, it seems. Might the filmbein black and white?! We’d be so here for it, if so.

The third Knives Out installment, which will once again see Blanc try to solve a head-scratchingly twisty whodunnit, has been confirming cast members thick and fast over the last few weeks. So far, Glenn Close, Jeremy Renner, Josh O’Connor, Kerry Washington, Cailee Spaeny, Josh Brolin, and more have joined the flick – and there could be further announcements in store. We’ll be sure to keep you posted.
