McCORMAC MASTERCLASS
Daryl McCormack’s stock has been rising since his breakout performances in “Good Luck to You, Leo Grande” and “Peaky Blinders.” He also impressed in Alice Troughton’s thriller The Lesson last year. The actor will also tackle tornados alongside Glen Powell in Warner Bros’ TWISTERS later in the summer. Mila Kunis needs no introduction. The actress has been a mainstay of film and television for many years. Seeing her bringing her talents to bear in Rian Johnson’s latest mystery will be fascinating.
RELEASE
Wake Up Dead Man is the last movie in Johnson’s two-movie deal with Netflix. After the agreement ends, it’s uncertain what will happen to the series. However, the first movie in the series was distributed by Lionsgate and made an impressive £312 million at the global box office. So, it’s likely that the studio would want to revive their partnership and make more money from loyal fans. At the time of this writing, the third movie’s plot remains a mystery, known only to a select few. However, with Rian Johnson again at the helm of this murder mystery, a thrilling third installment is almost inevitable.
Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery will release on Netflix sometime in 2025.
