Glass Onion trailer unveils a new Knives Out murder mystery

By

In the original Knives Out, the film established that Daniel Craig’s Benoit Blanc was a world-famous detective from the moment he was first shown on screen. Thanks to the success of that film, Blanc’s one-off murder mystery has become a full-blown franchise. In the first of two Netflix-produced sequels, Blanc will return to theaters later this month in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. And unlike the previous movie, Blanc is a part of the mystery from the very first moment.

As established in the newest trailer above, tech billionaire Miles Bron has invited Blanc to take part in a murder mystery game on his private island. Bron has also invited some of his closest friends and frenemies. And at least one enemy as well. What started out as a fun holiday getaway has turned into a genuine murder. Someone ends up dead, and Blanc takes it upon himself to bring the killer to justice. Unfortunately for Blanc, that will only make him a target as well.

Edward Norton co-stars as Miles Bron, with Janelle Monáe as his former business partner, Cassandra “Andi” Brand. Additionally, Kathryn Hahn appears as Connecticut Governor Claire Debella, with Leslie Odom Jr. as Lionel Toussaint, Jessica Henwick as Peg, Madelyn Cline as Whiskey, Kate Hudson as Birdie Jay, and Dave Bautista as Duke Cody. Ethan Hawke, Dallas Roberts, and Jackie Hoffman also have small roles in the film.

In a departure from Netflix’s usual strategy, Glass Onion will be getting a nationwide rollout in select theaters on Wednesday, November 23. The theatrical run will only last a week, and Glass Onion will then premiere on Netflix on December 23.

The 10 best movies of 2022
A superimposed image of X, Elvis, Aftersun, and Apollo 10 1/2.

With 2022 almost in the history books, there's a danger it will be known as a disappointing period for cinema. Driven by a narrative consumed by fluctuating box office grosses and depressed stocks, studios, streamers, and independent distributors alike are nervous about the future, and film industry prognosticators are all too happy to declare that moviegoing as we know it is dead.

Baloney. 2022 was one of the strongest years for film, right up there with 2019 and 2010 as great times for movie lovers. Whether domestic or foreign, big-budget studio tentpoles or low-budget indies, films in 2022 could be as diverse and rewarding as an alien invasion western (Nope), a meditative study on fatherhood and memory (Aftersun), a rockabilly biopic of one of the greatest entertainers who ever lived (Elvis), and a sexed-up French costume drama about the dangers of "fake news" (Lost Illusions). The only downside to this wonderful year is that it had to end at some point. The following is a list of the top 10 films of 2022 and a runner-up list that could've easily been in the top in a weaker year.

The eagerly anticipated sequel to Knives Out has arrived, and it may have even more twists and turns than its predecessor. Benoit Blanc, the detective who was at the center of 2019's first installment, is back to reprise his role, but he's the only returning member of the cast.

This time, he's tasked with solving the mystery of a murder on a private island filled with self-styled "disruptors" who wield their powers in totally distinct ways. If you want to know "whodunit" -- and why -- keep reading.

Where to watch the Knives Out sequel, Glass Onion
Daniel Craig looks concerned in Glass Onion.

In 2019, the murder mystery genre got a fresh infusion of life, and a new detective for the post-modern millennium, with Rian Johnson's twisty thriller Knives Out. Starring James Bond himself, Daniel Craig, as the loquacious Southern sleuth Benoit Blanc, the movie was a classic whodunit with a subtle stream of social satire interspersed between shocking deaths.

A hit with audiences and critics alike, Knives Out naturally spawned sequel talk, with not one but two sequels commissioned to follow Benoit as he solves mysteries in exotic locations with a rotating cast of A-listers and character actors. The first sequel, Glass Onion, is now available, and for those curious as to how, and where, to watch the follow-up, Digital Trends will help solve the mystery for you.
