Mila Kunis boards cast of Knives Out 3

Mila Kunis will star in 'Knives Out 3'.

The 40-year-old actress has become the latest name to join the star-studded cast of the murder mystery flick and joins Josh O'Connor, Cailee Spaeny, Andrew Scott, Kerry Washington, Glenn Close and Jeremy Renner (in his first film role since he was seriously injured in a snowplough accident last year) in the picture.

The film is titled 'Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery' and will see Daniel Craig return as detective Benoit Blanc with Rian Johnson once again in the director's chair.

Plot details on the Netflix film remain a secret but Rian recently gave fans a teaser of what to expect in a social media post.

The 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' director wrote on X: "I love everything about whodunnits, but one of the things I love most is how malleable the genre is. There’s a whole tonal spectrum from Carr to Christie, and getting to explore that range is one of the most exciting things about making Benoit Blanc movies.

"We’re about to go into production on the 3rd one, and I’m very, very excited to share the title, which gives a little hint of where it’s going. (sic)"

Netflix acquired the rights to the second and third 'Knives Out' films in a $450 million deal in 2021 but Johnson has claimed that even more movies could be made as long he and Craig remain interested in the franchise.

He told Total Film magazine: "As long as the two of us are still having fun, and as long as we can continue to make these truly new experiences each time, and find new ways to challenge ourselves.

"The second we feel like we're repeating ourselves, or just turning a crank on a machine, we'll stop. Because to me, the whole conception of this whole series is the same way Agatha Christie did it with her books – we're doing something new and surprising every time."
