Apparently, it has become Knives Out 2 casting week. We've already had word that Dave Bautista and Edward Norton will be Rian Johnson's sequel, and here comes the latest report that should make a lot of people very happy: Janelle Monáe is aboard.

As with the 2019 film, writer/director Johnson is building a starry ensemble to work alongside Daniel Craig, who returns as super sleuth Benoit Blanc to solve a new mystery.

Johnson is able to really get moving on the film now that Netflix has splashed out on a hefty $469 million deal for two sequels, which gives the streaming service a franchise with a built-in fanbase and two guaranteed new entries. The cameras should be cranking this summer in Greece. The big question still remaining? Will any of the newcomers rock leisurewear as iconic as this?
