Rian Johnson, director of GlassOnion, has revealed he dislikes having 'A Knives Out Mystery' in the sequel's official title.
Rian Johnson’s Glass Onion received a limited theatrical release on November 23 and a month later, on December 23, was released to a wider global audience on Netflix. Glass Onion saw the return of Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc, the world’s greatest detective and a character Craig first originated in 2019’s smash hit, Knives Out. Glass Onion is, for all intents and purposes, a Knives Out sequel.
I’ve tried hard to make them self-contained. Honestly, I’m pissed off that we have A Knives Out Mystery in the title. You know? I want it to just 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.
Since its wide release, the film has impressed audiences with its clever plot, intriguing characters, and masterful coda that subverted whodunit expectations. In his review, Collider’s own Ross Bonaime stated, “Johnson once more proves himself to be a disruptor, again upending expectations in this second Benoit Blanc mystery, making an even bigger, more ambitious, and, somehow, even more entertaining whodunit than the previous film.
