Now, theNetflixTudum trailer has revealed new footage forWake Up Dead Man. The trailer began by hyping Netflix’s live Tudum event, which will take place on May 31 at 8:00pm EST. The trailer included shots fromOne Piece,Wednesday, andSquid Game. A shot revealed anew look at Blanc in a distinct outfit from the previous two films. He wears a brown trenchcoat and dark sunglasses, while standing in a forest amidst gravestones.
Benoit Blanc Has Another Iconic Outfit
Benoit Blanc is a standout character for several reasons, including his unusual accent and idiosyncratic demeanor. Among his most iconic qualities are his outfits. Previous costumes for the character have included suits and a pinstripe bathing suit forGlass Onion. In some ways,his newest outfit design looks more similar to that of a conventional cartoon detectiveone would see inThe Pink PantherorInspector Gadget. This could indicate something about the tone ofWake Up Dead Man.
Despite the new costume reveal, there is still very little known about the plot of the thirdKnives Outmovie. As in the case ofGlass Onion,Wake Up Dead Manis slated to have a completely different cast from its predecessors, with the exception of Craig’s Blanc. Only showing animage of Benoit Blanc,Netflix’s latest tease does very little by way of revealing information about the third film in the franchise. This leaves a lot to look forward to.
The Setting Could Be A Good Change Of Pace
Since the plot has not been revealed, the exact setting ofWake Up Dead Manis under wraps. A previous image showed Craig and O’Connor in a church, suggesting religion might play a role in the story. The forest setting in this most recent look has me more intrigued about the nextKnives Outmovie. The second film took place in an island setting, so any such environment would be a big change from the previous movie, mirroring Benoit Blanc’s huge shift in style.
