Rian Johnson reveals title of Knives Out sequel, to release in ‘holiday season’

Filmmaker Rian Johnson has announced that the upcoming Knives Out sequel is titled Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery and will be released “this holiday season”. The much anticipated part two of the hit 2019 murder mystery will see Daniel Craig reprise his role of the master sleuth Benoit Blanc.
Ethan Hawke, Dave Bautista, Edward Norton, Janelle Monae, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr, Kate Hudson, Madelyn Cline and Jessica Henwick are the new cast members.
Rian Johnson announced the film’s title in a series of tweets praising iconic murder mystery writer Agatha Christie, best known for her novels featuring iconic fictional detectives Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple.
“Something I love about Agatha Christie is how she never tread water creatively. I think there’s a misperception that her books use the same formula over and over, but fans know the opposite is true.
“It wasn’t just settings or murder methods, she was constantly stretching the genre conceptually. Under the umbrella of the whodunnit she wrote spy thrillers, proto-slasher horrors, serial killer hunts, gothic romances, psychological character studies, glam travelogues,” the director, also known for 2017’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi, wrote on Monday night.
Working on the Knives Out series, he said, he was most excited about the prospect of making more mysteries with Craig as Benoit Blanc.
