Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery — All you need to know about Netflix sequel

A Knives Out sequel was already something we were onboard with, and the universe, apparently, was on board too.

The sequel was first revealed to be in development in January 2020 following the huge success of Knives Out. It was then confirmed in March 2021 that Netflix had picked up the rights to Knives Out 2 in a huge deal that also includes a third movie, with Daniel Craig set to reprise his role as private detective Benoit Blanc in both movies.

But before we get too ahead of ourselves, here's everything we know about the sequel, titled Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.

Glass Onion A Knives Out Mystery cast: Who's joining Daniel Craig in Knives Out 2?

While Daniel Craig is returning as Benoit Blanc, Rian Johnson confirmed in February 2020 that Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery will feature a "totally new cast".

The first name announced for the sequel was Guardians of the Galaxy star Dave Bautista, who has already spoken about being "really nervous" about the sequel, adding that the script is "brilliant".

"It's one of those things where now the pressure's on, because people are expecting things from you. I want to deliver. I take pride in that. I'm a game player. I want to throw a touchdown pass," he said.

Bautista has since been joined in the movie by fellow MCU stars Edward Norton, playing tech billionaire Miles Bron, Kathryn Hahn, and Ethan Hawke.

The rest of the cast is just as impressive, rounded out by Janelle Monáe, Leslie Odom Jr, Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline, and Kate Hudson. While we've had our first glimpse at the cast, none of their roles is known.

Jamie Lee Curtis jokingly responded to the lack of returns for the Thrombey family in the sequel by offering up an update on their lives since the first movie. "To clear up any rumors, the family is in family counseling and the therapist suggested they stay away from Benoit Blanc in the future," she explained.

Knives Out 2 plot: What is Glass Onion A Knives Out Mystery about?

Miles Bron has invited some of his nearest and dearest for a getaway on his private Greek island (as you do) but it soon becomes clear that not all is perfect in paradise: somebody turns up dead (because it is a murder-mystery, after all). Then it's up to Blanc to peel back the layers of intrigue.

Knives Out 2 trailer: When will Glass Onion A Knives Out Mystery get a trailer?

We don't have any footage yet of Knives Out 2, but with the film heading to a December release date, we'll likely get a trailer fairly soon.

As we mentioned, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is set to close out this year's London Film Festival. With the movie will be done and dusted by October 16, a trailer is likely imminent.

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is out on Netflix on December 23. Knives Out is available now on 4K Ultra-HD, Blu-ray and DVD, as well as on Prime Video, iTunes and other digital platforms.
