Rian Johnson’s crime sequel Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, starring Daniel Craig, has been in select theaters for a week since November 23, and is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on December 23. But the director is already working on a third part, like him “Deadline” said.
“I have a Moleskine notebook that I take with me everywhere and I’m doodling stuff all the time,” Johnson said in the interview. “Even while I’m doing all the public relations for this film, I’m trying to start building a structure, an idea, so that after the New Year, when it’s time to get to work, hopefully I’m not just staring at this horrible blank page.”
Daniel Craig is also looking forward to the next film. “Rian seems very excited to move on to the next film. He already has some ideas and they sound really interesting to me so I’ll just let him get on with it,” he told Deadline. Details are not yet known about the third part, but it seems certain that Craig’s cult private detective Benoit Blanc will once again be the focus of the third film.
It should continue after part 3
A fourth or fifth part is also not excluded. “Sometime later, yes, of course. If people are interested, we’ll do it,” Craig said. “But if there comes a point where either Rian or I think we’re going to just put them together, then we’d pull out.” to turn the crank”. “It’s really important now for each part, and especially the third part, that it feels scary and dangerous.”
The fact that there should be a third “Knives Out” film is not entirely surprising: Netflix had commissioned two sequels when it bought the rights. But Johnson was also in talks for his own Star Wars film trilogy after The Last Jedi (2017), so it was unclear which project he would work on next.
