And the title of Knives Out 3 is...
Can you solve the mystery? Hint: It's also named after a song.
Rian Johnson unveiled the title for his next “Benoit Blanc mystery” on Twitter/X today, which means he must have finally won the battle with Netflix to nix the “A Knives Out Mystery” subtitle that “pissed [him] off” so much the last time around. It also means that his playlist of well-named rock songs—or wherever he sourced Radiohead’s “Knives Out” and The Beatles’ “Glass Onion” from—officially has a new track.
Let’s play a little guessing game of our own, shall we? This is a whodunnit, after all. The song was originally recorded by a band that came in at number 49 on Apple Music’s recent (controversial) “100 Best Albums” list, although many people joked that they’d be number one before the top 10 was unveiled. That’s because this band has a history of showing up in unwanted places on Apple products. The song was recorded for their 1997 album.
Have you figured it out? The film’s official title is Wake Up Dead Man, taken from the closing track to U2's Pop. Johnson announced the news in a short promo video featuring a voiceover from series star Daniel Craig, in which he calls the new installment “my most dangerous case yet.”
