“Knives Out 3” Casting Call: Thomas Haden Church Joins Big Group Getting Less Diverse By the Day

Share

Well, it’s official. There are more cast members for “Knives Out 3” than crew.

Today’s daily announcement brings us Thomas Haden Church, well known for “Sideways,” the series Wings, and “Spider Man.” He joins Daniel Craig, Josh Brolin, Josh O’Connor, Cailee Spaeny, Andrew Scott, Kerry Washington, Jeremy Renner, Mila Kunis and Daryl McCormack.

This makes Haden Church the 10th major speaking role, apart from supporting characters. There’s a worry now that the entire cast “Cats” will be invited to hook up. (Just kidding.)

Are there more? How many people will try to make this so-called Dean Man? Isn’t it time to make the movie and stop promoting it before it’s finished?

Who would we like to see next? There are still few non whites, and no one above 60. (Kerry Washington and Darryl McCormack representing so far.) I was thinking Michael Douglas would be cool. And what about Danny Glover? Doesn’t it seem like Awkwafina should be in a “Knives Out” movie?
