The greatest mystery in Rian Johnson\u2019s Knives Out<\/em> films might be Benoit Blanc.<\/p>\n

Over the course of three films, Johnson and Daniel Craig have stingily dropped clues to Blanc\u2019s past and personal life. Since Blanc introduced himself in Knives Out<\/em> as \u201ca respectful, quiet, passive observer \u2026 of the truth\u201d, following the breadcrumbs has been a sport of its own.<\/p>\n

There are, for instance, the vague, offhand references to cases he has cracked before: something with a tennis champion, another with a ballet dancer and, in the latest chapter, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery<\/em>, we hear about something dastardly at the Kentucky Derby that he solved.<\/p>\n

Blanc has been profiled in The New Yorker and was a guest on The View<\/em>. He appears to live with Hugh Grant. He dislikes the board game Clue.<\/p>\n

In Wake Up Dead Man<\/em>, which is showing at cinemas and will stream on Netflix on December 12, Blanc takes up the case of a priest (Josh Brolin) who dies mysteriously in the middle of a church service.<\/p>\n

Of the film\u2019s many delights \u2013 among them, Josh O\u2019Connor\u2019s co-leading performance as a priest under suspicion and a cast of parishioners including Andrew Scott, Jeremy Renner and Glenn Close \u2013 is seeing Craig continue to find new little wrinkles to Blanc.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
