“Knives Out” Part 3 Daily Casting Announcement: Kerry Washington (Olivia Pope), Andrew Scott (Mr. Ripley) in Ongoing Daily Mystery Reveal

Share

The third “Knives Out” movie should be called “Which actor is announced next for the cast?”

It seems like this mystery will be who will be announced today to join “Wake Me Up, Dead Man.”

Today, it’s Kerry Washington to put on the list. Yesterday it was Andrew Scott.

We already have — in addition to Daniel Craig — Josh O’Connor and Cailee Spaeny. So today we added Mr. Ripley and Olivia Pope. All brand names.

Tomorrow? Batman? Spider Man? Horshack? Mrs. Maisel’s maid? No Justin Lupe from “Succession”? (Seems like an obvious choice.) How about Lars from “Mary Tyler Moore”?

Let’s hope the new screenplay isn’t as weighted down as “Glass Onion” and has some of the charm of the first movie. And has a surprise appearance from Ana de Armas.
