Daniel Craig of No Time to Die fame said that Rian Johnson’s Knives Out 2 is going to be very different from the original 2019 mystery. 

The 53-year-old actor played the role of Benoit Blanc, a private detective, in the 2019 original. However, he admitted that the new movie will be remarkably different from the original. Daniel said, “I’m so lucky to have Rian [Johnson] in my life. He’s such a great writer. That script arrived and I was literally like, ‘Are you kidding me?’ I couldn’t believe that he wanted me to play it. I was going, ‘It says Southern accent you went here. Really?’ And he’s like, ‘Yeah?’

“We’ve just finished the second one, literally weeks ago. They’ve just wrapped up in Serbia. Dare I say it’s better? We’ll see. I don’t want to tempt fate. It’s different, and that’s the amazing thing,” he added. 

Daniel Craig also expressed his excitement for people to see his upcoming film. He told Empire, “It’s still a Benoit Blanc mystery, but it’s very different. I’m very excited about it.”

Daniel ended his stint with the James Bond franchise with the recently-released ‘No Time To Die’. The actor had previously admitted to feeling it was a “slog” playing the iconic 007 at various times. While he feels”lucky” to have been afforded the opportunity, but he also confessed that it’s been a challenge, reported the Independent. 

Daniel, who debuted as James Bond in 2006’s ‘Casino Royale’, shared, “I am very proud of what we have done.”

“I am so lucky to have had this opportunity the last 16 years. What happens in the future, it just feels like it is going to take 15 years to unpack all of this, to figure out what what just happened.” “Sometimes it was a slog, it has gone like that [snaps his fingers],” he added.
