Filming has officially kicked off for one of our most anticipated films of 2025– “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery.” And in honor of the first day of filming, Netflix and Rian Johnson have given us a sneak peek at Daniel Craig’s look as Benoit Blanc in the film.
No, unfortunately there’s no teaser trailer. And no, we don’t get to see an official still image from the film. But what we do get is a behind-the-scenes look at Daniel Craig sporting a new look as the detective, Benoit Blanc. It appears he’s decided to grow out his hair for this new situation.

The all-star cast for ‘Wake Up Dead Man’ includes Daniel Craig, Josh O’Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, Daryl McCormack, and Thomas Haden Church. Once again, the film is written and directed by Rian Johnson.
“We’ve been very lucky with each of these movies to have gathered some of my favorite actors on the planet, and that’s absolutely the case here,” Johnson explained (via TUDUM). “They’re also all lovely folks who get along, which is the dinner party aspect of it. When you’re making an ensemble movie like this I think that’s key.”
As we have come to expect from this franchise, plot details are going to continue to be hidden until much closer to the release of the film. All we know is the basics–Benoit Blanc is going to investigate something, and there are going to be a lot of famous faces as suspects in the case. You know, exactly how these types of mysteries unfold.
There’s no release date set for “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery” yet, but Netflix did reveal we will see the film in 2025.
