For the one who hasn’t watched it yet, Glass Onion follows detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) as he tries to solve a mystery in Greece involving a tech billionaire and his friends.

The filmmaker While talking to The Atlantic, he said: ‘I’ve tried hard to make them self-contained. Honestly, I’m p* off that we have ‘A Knives Out Mystery’ in the title.

He added, “You know? I want it just to be called ‘Glass Onion.’ I get it, and I want everyone who liked the first movie to know this is next in the series, but also, the whole appeal to me is it’s a new novel off the shelf every time. But there’s a gravity of a thousand suns toward serialized storytelling.” Rian also admitted that he would have liked a more extended theatrical release from Netflix.
