Summary
Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mysteryhas already debunked one huge theory a year before the movie is set to be released. The third installment of the murder mystery franchise is scheduled for 2025 and will continue the exciting adventures of Daniel Craig’s Benoit Blanc. Craig was the one constant betweenKnives OutandGlass Onion, and he is set to lead thecast ofKnives Out 3. With so many new additions to the franchise,one casting has already sparked plenty of theories, but the biggest assumption looks to have been debunked a year before release.
Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mysteryhas begun filming.
There have been some huge names confirmed for the upcomingKnives Outmovie,leading to plenty of speculation about who the killer could be and where the murder mystery may take place. EvenKnives Out 3’s titlehas caused theories as the connection to a popular U2 song and coffin imagery could offer some clues to the film’s big mystery. While all these possibilities could still hold some weight, one more comedy-orientated theory has dominated internet discussions; however, Rian Johnson himself seems to have debunked this with his latest comments, all but confirming this popular assumption isn’t true.
Renner Will Play A “Proper Part” In Knives Out 3
Despite what speculation has suggested,Jeremy Renner will not be playing himself in the nextKnives Outfilm.Knives Out 3will be Renner’s first movie role since his injury in 2023, but the actor will not be playing himself. Although he never officially appeared in the previous two films, Renner’s presence was felt inGlass Onionas the franchise created a Jeremy Renner-themed hot sauce that featured frequently throughout the film. With theKnives Outuniverse acknowledging Renner’s existence, many thought the actor would play himself after being cast forKnives Out 3, but Rian Johnson seemingly denied this.
According toNetflix, Johnson commented on the Jeremy Renner hot sauce gag, claiming “I was very relieved he thought the hot sauce thing was funny! He’s playing a proper part in this one.” This all but confirms Renner’s character will be a fictional one like the rest of the cast, despite the actor existing in theKnives Outuniverse. While this confirmation may come as a slight disappointment,Renner could continueKnives Out’s Marvel killer trend, meaning the actor’s involvement is still incredibly exciting, and he looks destined to have a great part in the next movie.
Glass Onion’s Jeremy Renner Hot Sauce Joke Explained
Jeremy Renner’s Hot Sauce Has Been A Running Gag Throughout The Knives Out Franchise
Jeremy Renner’s hot sauce joke inGlass Onionwas a small gag in the movie, but it ended up having a major impact on the overall plot. The hot sauce joke simply saw Renner’s face on a hot sauce bottle labeled “Renning Hot”, poking some fun at the celebrity’s business ventures. Renner has released music, has his own app, and even appeared on the YouTube showHot Ones, suggesting the gag was simply playing on his celebrity status, but he wasn’t the only famous name targeted asGlass Onionhad plenty of celebrity jokes and references throughout the movie.
Knives Out 3 Casting May Open Up A Massive Plot Hole (With One Perfect Explanation)
Knives Out 3 now officially has a cast, but the addition of one famous face brings about a gigantic paradox that could, nevertheless, still work.
These references are simply part of the franchise’s humor which uses real life to help add to the comedy.While Renner’s hot sauce was seemingly just another throwaway gag, it did play a role in Benoit Blanc uncovering the mysteryas he used the sauce as fake blood and to make himself tear up, which helped him fake Andi’s death and uncover the killer. This made Renner an iconic part of the series without ever physically appearing in the franchise, and with the actor now officially onboard forKnives Out 3, the return of his hot sauce would be even funnier.
