Sun Jun 01 00:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Benoit Blanc Returns in Cryptic ‘Wake Up Dead Man’ Teaser

**Hollywood, CA (May 29, 2025)** – The hype is real! Netflix has ignited anticipation for the upcoming “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery” with a brief, yet intriguing, teaser trailer posted on social media. The 12-second clip features a foreboding church steeple set to ominous music, leaving fans speculating about the film’s plot.

While Daniel Craig’s Benoit Blanc is conspicuously absent from the teaser, his return as the world-renowned detective is undoubtedly confirmed. The teaser also included the cryptic quote: “The wicked desire the stronghold of evildoers, but the root of the righteous endures,” a Bible verse from Proverbs 12:12.

Little is known about the actual mystery at the heart of “Wake Up Dead Man,” which, like its predecessors “Knives Out” and “Glass Onion,” will be a standalone whodunit. However, one prominent theory is that the release date has been revealed.

Critics, like Megan Garside at Games Radar, are pointing to the Proverbs verse as a clue, suggesting a December 12, 2025 (12.12.25) release date. Given director Rian Johnson’s penchant for puzzles and hidden meanings, the theory has gained traction.

Adding to the excitement, “Wake Up Dead Man” boasts an impressive ensemble cast including Josh O’Connor, Glenn Close, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Thomas Haden Church, Cailee Spaeny, Daryl McCormack, and Mila Kunis.
