The Moriarty from Sherlock and protagonist of the recent Ripley series has been chosen by Rian Johnson to join the movie. Alongside him, there are already two confirmed actors: Cailee Spaeny (Priscilla, Civil War) and Josh O’Connor (Challengers, Only You). However, there are two other faces that are rumored but have not been confirmed yet: Tom Hardy (Venom, Mad Max: Fury Road) and Lindsay Lohan (Mean Girls).

What role will Andrew Scott play?

Knives Out 3 has been confirmed to premiere at some point in 2025 on Netflix. Considering that the complete cast has not been confirmed yet, it will probably be towards the end of that year. In addition, Johnson warns that he is eager to carry it out, especially to continue exploring this character and his world. But don’t expect a typical copy. He has made it clear: “It’s a challenge to discover how it can be completely different from this sequel and the first one”.
