The film gods already blessed us with the news of 2019 in March Knife out would get not one but TWO sequels on Netflix.

After his successful WWE career, Dave turned to acting, and his greatest role to date has been as Drax the Destroyer in the MCU. We already know he’s great at playing fun, intense characters, so he fits the world of perfectly Knife out.
Edward Norton

Ed Norton is a celebrated actor in both comedy and drama (three Academy Award nominations !!). He was there too Saturday night live a couple of times, one of which showed his incredibly accurate impression of Owen Wilson.
Janelle Monáe

Janelle is obviously an incredible musician, but she is also an accomplished actress! She played in Hidden figures and Moonlight, both of which were nominated for Best Picture at the 2017 Oscars (Moonlight won). Her other acting roles include Antebellum, Welcome to Marwen, Harriet, and starring in season 2 of Homecoming. And if this photo is any clue, she’s got the thriller atmosphere under control.
Kathryn Hahn

Kathryn Hahn can really do everything. She is known for her comedy chops (Parks and recreation, Bad mothers, and a million other things), but her first big role was in a drama! She played the grief counselor Lily Lebowski for six seasons Cross Jordan. Most recently, she stole the show as Agatha Harkness WandaVision and gave us the most important song of the century.
