Boxer-turned priest Josh OConnor offers Daniel Craig some spiritual guidance to help solve an impossible crime hes been accused of in the latest Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery trailer that dropped on Monday.

You were the only one on stage with the Monsignor at the time, local police chief Geraldine Scott, played by Mila Kunis, tells OConnor in the trailer. OConnor plays Father Jud Duplenticy who is joining forces with detective Benoit Blanc (Craig) to solve the mysterious murder of charismatic-yet-charming Monsignor Jefferson Wicks, played by Josh Brolin. Everyone thinks I did it. I didnt do it, Duplenticy, who at one point in the trailer literally has blood on his hands after been sent to assist Wicks in a backwater small-town church with secrets, declares in the third installment of the Netflix murder mystery franchise. In hisreview ofWake Up Dead ManforThe Hollywood Reporter, chief film critic David Rooney wrote:Blanc, of course, is the suave Southern gent with the stylish suits and exaggerated drawl played byDaniel Craigwith wit, panache and flashes of mischief. Benoit and OConnors Father Jud Duplenticy make a delightful pair, the two British actors sparking off each other with infectious enjoyment.

To solve the mystery, Duplenticy, Blanc and Scott must sort through a murderers row of suspects in an ensemble cast that includes Glenn Close, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, Daryl McCormack and Thomas Haden Church.
