Rian Johnson teases potential plans for more 'Knives Out' films with charismatic detective Benoit Blanc
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: If the 'Knives Out' franchise is your cup of tea, here is some particularly good news. Rian Johnson has said there is "endless potential" for Daniel Craig's Benoit Blanc. And thus the potential for a whole slew of sequels or prequels. Johnson specifically said despite Blanc being a compelling character, his role is always meant to be in service to the overall mystery as opposed to being the focal point, so he'll only ever showcase relevant information about the character rather than his origins as a detective.
The 2019 film 'Knives Out' was when audiences were first introduced to Daniel Craig's Benoit Blanc. His distinctive aura as a detective made him an instant fan favorite alongwith Chris Evan's cable-knit sweater. Benoit Blanc entered the annals of fiction's most famous detectives from Sherlock Holmes to Hercule Poirot. Daniel Craig reprises his role as a master detective when he takes on a new case in the 'Glass Onion,' a 'Knives Out' mystery. The ensemble cast includes Edward Norton, Janelle Monae, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline, Kate Hudson, and Dave Bautista. 'Glass Onion' received critical acclaim, with praise for its screenplay, direction, performances, and score, and was named one of the best films of 2022 by the National Board of Review. People who have still not gotten a chance to watch the movie, fret not as the streaming giant Netflix will release the movie just two days before Christmas.
