He also declared on the microphone ofEntertainment Weekly have some “seeds of ideas” concerning a fourth film, even if he admitted to not having anything concrete yet. “I have some basic, elementary conceptual ideasexplained the director. I don’t have a theme or location yet. It’s still pretty vague and I think it’s best to keep it vague until I’m ready to get serious about it.”

The first film At loggerheads was released in theaters in 2019 and pitted Craig against Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis and Chris Evans. The sequel, Glass Onionreleased on Netflix in 2022, pitted him against Edward Norton, Kate Hudson and Janelle Monáe.

Wake Up Dead Man examines the murder in seemingly impossible circumstances of the priest of a small New England parish.

Opposite Craig, this opus features a cast that is as sparkling as ever: Josh O’Connor (The Crown), Glenn Close (Dangerous Liaisons), Josh Brolin (Dune), Mila Kunis (Black Swan), Jeremy Renner (Avengers), Kerry Washington (Scandal), Andrew Scott (Fleabag), Cailee Spaeny (Alien: Romulus), Daryl McCormack (Bad Sisters) and Thomas Haden Church (Sideways).

So, where could Rian Johnson lead White into a fourth investigation? We will have to give the filmmaker’s ideas time to germinate, but it could be that the detective has not said his last word.
