Knives Out 2: Kaley Cuoco Devastated She's Not In Rian Johnson Movie
Kaley Cuoco reveals she is devastated she wasn't cast for Rian Johnson's Knives Out 2 after doing various chemistry reads for the film. Johnson has assembled another ensemble cast for his murder mystery sequel once again led by Daniel Craig as the eccentric private detective Benoit Blanc investigating a new case in the Mediterranean. Joining Craig for Knives Out 2 is Dave Bautista, reuniting the Spectre stars, Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Kate Hudson, Madelyn Cline, Jessica Henwick, Ethan Hawke and Noah Segan.
Development on Knives Out 2 began shortly after the first film debuted to rave reviews from critics in late 2019 and major box office success, grossing over $311 million against its $40 million production budget. Though initially lined up at original studio Lionsgate with Craig attached to return, Johnson and producing partner Ram Bergman would instead auction the rights to the franchise, which Netflix won in a heated battle for $469 million with a two-movie order with Craig reprising his role in both. While Knives Out 2 is expected to premiere later this year, one star is opening up about being left out of the adventure.
