The first trailer for Rian Johnson’s “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” features the return of Detective Benoit Blanc. With a brand-new ensemble cast that includes Dave Bautista, Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Kate Hudson, Madelyn Cline, Jessica Henwick, and Ethan Hawke, Daniel Craig returns in the lead role of the murder mystery sequel.
“Glass Onion” is set in Greece on the private island of tech billionaire Miles Bron, played by Norton, where another game of whodunnit will take place.

An original story that is heavy on dialogue and short on action, “Knives Out” debuted to positive reviews in November 2019 and made $311 million at the global box office. Johnson was nominated for an Oscar for best original screenplay. Unlike the previous movie, which Lionsgate distributed, “Glass Onion” has Netflix’s support after the streaming giant agreed to buy two “Knives Out” sequels for an estimated $450 million.
“I really think it’s going to be as good, if not better, than the first one,” Bautista told People magazine last summer when the film was in production. “I’m always afraid to say that because I don’t want anybody to get offended saying that we’re going to be better, but I really do think this. I think the characters are just so much more colorful. I think people are really going to dig this.”
Bautista continued, “The characters are just so great. They’re so different. Everybody’s cast so well. I was working with a couple of my castmates and was mesmerized by their performances and just how well they’ve adapted into these characters. I think the characters in this are even more quirky than the first one.”
You expected a mystery.
