Daniel Craig Netflix: The first trailer for Rian Johnson’s “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” features the return of Detective Benoit Blanc. Daniel Craig reprises his role as the film’s protagonist. Still, this time, an all-star cast will question him, including Dave Bautista, Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Kate Hudson, Madelyn Cline, Jessica Henwick, and Ethan Hawke.
In “Glass Onion,” Norton plays Miles Bron, a computer billionaire whose private island serves as the setting for yet another whodunit. Despite being low on action and high on dialogue, the first release of “Knives Out” in November 2019 grossed $311 million at the international box office.
The Academy considered Johnson for best original screenplay. Netflix reportedly spent $450 million to purchase two “Knives Out” sequels and supports “Glass Onion,” although Lionsgate distributed the initial picture.
Glass Onion: A Knife Out of Mystery
Filmmaker Rian Johnson penned the script for Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, which he also directed. Johnson and Ram Bergman produced the film for T-Street Productions in 2022. Knives Out 2 is a standalone sequel starring Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc, a master detective who takes on a new case in the wake of Knives Out (2019).
Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline, Kate Hudson, and Dave Bautista are just some of the stars of the film’s ensemble cast.

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery Plot
The title and Johnson’s most recent tweets are the only information we have so far about the story he aims to tell. The writer-director, Benoit Blanc, finds inspiration in Hercule Poirot, just as Christie did in creating Poirot. To paraphrase one critic, “[Christie] was always pushing the genre intellectually; it wasn’t just settings or murder tactics.
She wrote everything from “spy thrillers” to “proto-slasher horrors” to “serial killer hunts” to “gothic romances” to “psychological character studies” to “glam travelogues” within the genre of “whodunnit,” as described by Johnson.
Making each picture with Daniel as Benoit Blanc feel like its own entity, with its tone, aim, and reason for being—just like a new Christie novel—was one of the things that most interested me when I was planning Knives Out.
