Speaking to CinemaBlend, the actor responded to whether he'll make an appearance in the third Knives Out movie Wake Up Dead Man.

"I don't know, I don't know. But [Johnson] makes only good movies," he said, adding: "Rian Johnson is one of the best alive, I think."

While it's not yet known whether Gordon-Levitt will feature in the upcoming Netflix film, cast announcements for the murder mystery have been coming thick and fast in recent weeks.

Filming on the blockbuster is officially underway, with Johnson marking the milestone with a new photo of Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc.
