The film features a stellar group of character actors with a script they could really get their teeth into in a unique, mid-budget crime story. The end result is a genuinely enjoyable film with enough amusing plot twists and turns and an as relevant as ever “Eat the Rich” message. In the end, Johnson produced a greater whodunit in the vein of Agatha Christie than the current Kenneth Branagh adaptations.

What is the Plot of Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery?

The video confirms that Benoit Blanc, the private investigator who solves mysteries, will return to the case “this Christmas season,” which is consistent with earlier rumors that “Glass Onion” will be released before the end of the year (much like “Knives Out” debuted in late November in 2019). Additionally, it has been said that Netflix wants the movie to tour the festival circuit before it is most likely only shown in a few cinemas before streaming.

As far as we are aware, Daniel Craig is the only “Knives Out” actor returning for “Glass Onion” (barring a surprise Ana de Armas cameo). Although I’m still clinging to the hope that Craig will wear a whole foreign dialect for the sequel that nobody ever comments on, it’s unlikely that he will still have his utterly convincing Southern accent when he does.
