It’s that time of year again where the cast for Rian Johnson‘s next Benoit Blanc film gets revealed. A veritable whos-who of actors, today’s news includes an Avenger!
Hawkeye himself Jeremy Renner (“Mayor of Kingstown“) has reportedly joined “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery.”
He’ll be joined by Glenn Close, Andrew Scott (“Fleabag”), Josh O’Connor (“Challengers”), Cailee Spaeny (“Priscilla”), and Kerry Washington (“Scandal“). Also, of course Daniel Craig is returning to the role of the Southern gentleman detective Benoit Blanc.
Little is known about the actual film yet, but we expect to find out more soon.
Mary Anne Butler
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
