His candid opinion. Rian Johnson has found success creating the Knives Out franchise — but the director isn’t thrilled with every aspect of the Glass Onion sequel.
During an interview with The Atlantic, which was published on Monday, December 26, Johnson, 49, admitted that he wasn’t happy with the title for the second Knives Out installment.
“I’ve tried hard to make them self-contained,” he explained, referring to Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. “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.”
The producer continued: “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.”
Knives Out became a pop culture phenomenon when the first movie was released in 2019. The murder mystery introduced viewers to Daniel Craig as master detective Benoit Blanc who investigates the mysterious passing of a famous fictional author.
The first installment in the franchise also featured Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Don Johnson, Toni Collette, LaKeith Stanfield, Katherine Langford, Christopher Plummer and Jaeden Martell.
After Netflix bought the rights to the next two Knives Out films, Johnson brought Craig, 54, back in the anthology series.
Glass Onion, which was released earlier this month, explored the murders surrounding a tech billionaire and his old friends. The sequel starred Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline, Kate Hudson and Dave Bautista.

Rian Johnson already has one highly successful mystery franchise with his “Knives Out” films. Does he have another with “Poker Face,” the director’s television debut? The new series, the brainchild of Johnson and the show’s star Natasha Lyonne, hits Peacock later this month, to settle that debate.
Natasha Lyonne has an uncanny ability to tell when people are lying in the upcoming Peacock series, Poker Face.

It’s no mystery what audiences were watching on Netflix over the holiday weekend.
It has been five long years since the release of Rian Johnson’s “Star Wars: The Last Jedi.” Thankfully, over the past year or so, it feels like the discourse surrounding it has tempered a bit and people aren’t ready to murder each other on social media if you even mention the film. That said, there are still a lot of opinions out there about ‘The Last Jedi.’ And in a recent interview, Rian Johnson is here to at least talk about his intentions with the film, whether or not you believe he was successful.
Netflix had an early Christmas present for film fans this year, as the streaming service released “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” on December 23. While the jury is still out on whether or not the sequel will be as successful with fans and awards organizations as the original “Knives Out,” it’s safe to say that Rian Johnson’s mystery franchise is still excelling in its second go-round.
Rian Johnson is opening up about the creation of Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery and said he lamented the film having Knives Out in its title.
