Edward Norton, Dave Bautista join Daniel Craig for 'Knives Out 2'

After a long wait, it looks like Knives Out 2 is officially moving forward, with the cast getting expanded. News has it that Edward Norton and Dave Bautista have been roped in to star alongside Daniel Craig in the upcoming Netflix murder mystery. Craig reprises his role of super sleuth Benoit Blanc, while Rian Johnson returns as the director for the much-awaited sequel.

Interesting fact: Bautista and Norton have a Marvel connection

To note, Bautista and Norton have a Marvel connection. While Bautista was in Guardians of the Galaxy playing Drax the Destroyer, Norton had a short stint as Hulk in The Incredible Hulk. After his Marvel exit, Norton starred in noteworthy movies like The Grand Budapest Hotel, Moonrise Kingdom, and Birdman. Bautista, on the other hand, will next be seen in Army of the Dead.

Janelle Monáe and Kathryn Hahn are the newest additions to the amazing cast of Knives Out 2. Hahn joins after the massive success of WandaVision based on MCU superheroes Scarlet Witch and Vision.

Back to the film, the only confirmed cast member returning from Knives Out is Craig. He will play the sleuth inspired by Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot.
