Craig is due to star in the highly anticipated follow up to Rian Johnson’s first Knives Out, which will see Detective Benoit Blanc travel to Greece to peel back the layers of a mystery involving a new cast of colourful suspects.
Revealed last in the Netflix trailer, a seaside town is shown and passengers boarding a boat turn to look at something off frame, as Craig comes into view.
He appears alongside an all star cast including Edward Norton, Janelle Monae, Dave Bautista, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr, and Kate Hudson.
