And we’re definitely not ready for such a battle.

Summary:

  • Knives Out 3 with Daniel Craig ’s come-back as a quirky private detective is the famous trilogy’s thrilling update expected to hit Netflix in 2025, but the streaming will seemingly have one more exciting movie of the same genre released at the same time.
  • The upcoming film will be based on Richard Osman’s novel and will star Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan and Ben Kingsley in the leading roles.
  • The movie will most likely follow the same rules that many murder mystery shows and films proved to be vital for the audience’s catch, which probably makes it a significant competitor for Knives Out 3.

Netflix is making it all pretty much complicated for Knives Out 3 the production of which is set to start later this year.

Directed by Ryan Johnson once again, the third installment starring Daniel Craig as quirky yet brilliant detective Benoit Blanc will hit the streaming service just like its predecessor, Glass Onion, in 2025 earliest.

Though so far the mystery trilogy had no competitors of the same league letting itself thrive amid everyone’s wild enthusiasm, things may turn out to be very different due to Netflix’s recently announced new movie.

Having a wholly changed facade, the upcoming murder mystery film The Thursday Murder Club still shares a lot with Knives Out, even its possible release time. The movie based on Richard Osman’s novel of the same name will follow a group of elderly people lucky enough to spend the rest of their life in a sumptuous retirement village.

Suddenly they all get involved in a crime investigation — and soon enough it becomes their hobby going in contrast with all the tranquility of the life they had before.

The Thursday Murder Club’s production date is to be determined yet, but the upcoming film has all chances to launch a fierce competition with Daniel Craig’s franchise, and taking a look at its crew and cast will be more than enough.

Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan and Ben Kingsley have just been confirmed to star in the movie with Steven Spielberg ’s company and Harry Potter ’s director Chris Columbus also being onboard.

Apart from the star-packed cast that already seems to be a very promising start for the movie, The Thursday Murder Club will most likely follow the suit of the modern TV’s biggest murder mystery hits like Only Murders in the Building, The White Lotus or even Knives Out itself by adapting a competing mix of modern and classic takes on solving a crime — the formula that already proved itself as something that most of the viewers will surely latch onto.

On top of that, The Thursday Murder Club might be a double threat to Knives Out’s future installment as the former’s production will presumably get launched a bit later this year meaning that the movie will most likely hit Netflix in 2025 and, what’s more intriguing, probably around the same time as Knives Out 3.

Despite early presumptions, we’re still quite far away from seeing any of the upcoming movies — but at least there’s some exciting rivalry to wait for.
