In May 2024, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Josh O’Connor and Cailee Spaeny were the first actors to join “Wake Up Dead Man.”
Josh O’Connor starred opposite Zendaya in 2024’s buzzy sports romance, “Challengers,” while Spaeny played Rain in “Alien: Romulus.”
The new teaser confirmed that the cast includes “Fleabag” and “Ripley” star Andrew Scott, Kerry Washington, Glenn Close, Jeremy Renner, Mila Kunis, Josh Brolin, and Thomas Haden Church.
Johnson told Variety in October 2022 that he’ll keep making more movies about Blanc for as long as possible.
“If each one of these can really be what Agatha Christie did, if it can be not just in a totally new location and a new cast, but also trying something exciting, I’ll keep doing it as long as Daniel and I are having a good time,” he said. “I’ll keep making these as long as they let me.”
The James Bond actor echoed the same sentiment in an interview with Deadline in November 2022.
“Rian seems to me to be very excited about getting on with the next one. He’s already got some ideas, and they sound to me to be really interesting, so I’m going to let him just get on with that,” Craig said.
“I mean, if people are interested, then we’ll make them,” he continued. “But if there ever came a point where either Rian and I thought we were just churning them out, I think we would back away. I mean, I just don’t think that’s what either of us want to do in life. Unless people are getting genuine fun out of them, forget it.”
