Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery will have its world premiere in September at the Toronto Film Festival. The mystery film is a sequel to Knives Out (2019), Daniel Craig reprises his role as Benoit Blanc, a master detective taking on a new case. The film is scheduled to be released in late 2022.
In Rian Johnson’s “Knives Out” follow-up, detective Benoit Blanc travels to Greece to peel back the layers of a mystery involving a new cast of suspects. The film also stars an ensemble cast consisting of Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline, Kate Hudson, and Dave Bautista.
The film is written and directed by Rian Johnson, and produced by Johnson and Ram Bergman for T-Street Productions
The Toronto Film Festival is readying for a return as a fully in-person event after being all but virtual the past two years during the pandemic. Last year, Kenneth Branagh’s Belfast claimed the TIFF People’s Choice Award, often a bellwether tipping Oscar success; the Focus Features pic ended up with seven Oscar noms including Best Picture, and like Johnson with Knives Out, Branagh won the Original Screenplay prize.
