Included in the announcement was a black and white shot of Daniel Craig, who reprises his role as the clever Benoit Blanc. The suave and debonair detective, known for his southern drawl, has solved every case so far in Johnson’s film series, making this the third installment following the success of the "Knives Out" films.

In the image, Detective Blanc is seen in a suit and tie, hands in his pockets, and sporting a grown-out hairstyle. Looking more like a silver fox than ever before, Craig's new look adds a fresh twist to the character fans have come to love.
