Overview

• Speaking at Deadline’s Contenders London, Johnson said the third Benoit Blanc outing adopts a more traditional Agatha Christie structure with suspects introduced before the detective arrives.
• Daniel Craig returns as Benoit Blanc for a darker case steeped in religious intrigue and gothic notes, with Josh O’Connor playing priest Jud Duplencity.
• Johnson confirmed production was staged in London after early prep began, with the story largely set in an old stone church in a small town.
• The ensemble includes Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, Daryl McCormack and Thomas Haden Church.
• Johnson said he is writing an original, non–Knives Out project next and intends to step away from the franchise for a time while remaining open to returning.
