Jeremy Renner Just Compared Doing A Knives Out Movie To A Marvel Movie, And I See His Point

by

In this new take, Benoit Blanc returns once more to unravel another intricate mystery. Notably, filmmaker Rian Johnson has gathered a star-studded cast similar to the Avengers in the Marvel universe for his upcoming whodunnit production. There’s even a connection between these two worlds, as Jeremy Renner – Hawkeye from Marvel and a star of the ‘Wake Up Dead Man’ series – recently likened working on ‘Knives Out 3’ to being part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe due to reasons that align perfectly with this comparison.

The upcoming 2025 film lineup will feature Rian Johnson’s latest mystery, which is generating buzz as the main cast prepares for promotional events. Among them is Jeremy Renner, known for his work in large ensembles, and he recently shared with Variety how joining this ‘Knives Out’ mystery felt akin to collaborating with Marvel Studios.

The information provided is scarce, resembling a Marvel film with its limited details. I’m uncertain whether I have the full script for it; it’s that kind of situation.

Marvel is known for closely guarding their screenplays, sometimes even keeping actors in the dark about the full scope of the scenes they’re filming. It appears that during the production of “Wake Up Dead Man“, Chris Hemsworth may have agreed to star without fully reading the script.

As a cinephile, I can’t help but marvel at the intriguing allure of “Knives Out” and “Glass Onion.” It comes as no surprise that talented actors would eagerly sign up for the next installment in this captivating series, even without knowing all the details. After all, the suspense of who did it is best kept under wraps to maintain the thrill.

Moreover, Rian Johnson and Daniel Craig have established a remarkable legacy with these contemporary whodunnits, a fact that Jeremy Renner acknowledges. The secrecy surrounding the plot is not only warranted but also adds to the excitement of unraveling the mystery on the big screen.

Based on their previous achievements, you can anticipate what to expect when joining them. Plus, working with outstanding actors certainly adds joy and ease to the job.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is renowned not just for its engaging storylines, but also for assembling an impressive ensemble of talented actors, often referred to as their “star-studded cast”. A prime example is the star-studded cast of the film “Avengers: Infinity War“, which includes the likes of Jeremy Renner in the original Avengers film or Endgame. This ensemble included heavyweights like Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo and many others. The popularity and prestige associated with these films was immense, even if the actors weren’t entirely certain about the project they were joining, they probably knew they were joining a successful venture.

It’s reasonable to infer that Wake Up Dead Man, too, might have garnered positive reviews, given the strong reception of Knives Out and Glass Onion. Both films boast star-studded casts featuring top-tier actors such as Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis, Edward Norton, Kate Hudson, and numerous other A-listers.

In the third installment of Johnson’s mystery series, it comes as no shock that the cast is exceptionally talented, boasting a powerful lineup. Alongside Renner, fellow Marvel Cinematic Universe veteran Josh Brolin, will join the cast for “Knives Out 3”. Joining them are Josh O’Connor, Glenn Close, Mila Kunis, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, Daryl McCormack and Thomas Haden Church. If you ask me, this ensemble is as impressive as the one seen in an Avengers movie.

Absolutely, it makes perfect sense to me that the main character from Hawkeye would liken his forthcoming film to working at Marvel. After all, it’s a high-profile, eagerly awaited production with a stellar cast.

As a movie enthusiast, I can’t contain my enthusiasm for “Wake Up Dead Man”! The buzz around it is reminiscent of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which has me absolutely thrilled. Come November 26th, you’ll find me in theaters, ready to immerse myself in the film on the grand screen. And once it hits Netflix on December 12th, I can guarantee that I’ll be revisiting it there too!
