In the grand tradition of Hercule Poirot, Nancy Drew, and the Boxcar Children, Detective Benoit Blanc has taken on a new case. Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mysteryaka the sequel to Knives Out, has released its first trailer. We knew the cast was great, including not only the returning Daniel Craig but also Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Kate Hudson, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., and Dave Bautista — more Outer Banks‘ Madelyn Cline and game of thrones‘Jessica Henwick. Directed by Rian Johnson, the film is set on a Greek island that Edward Norton’s billionaire character invites the rest of the cast to for a mystery game that (shockingly) turns deadly. The trailer itself is light on actual plot but high on sheer number of hats (Leslie Odom Jr.’s fez is the best).
It wouldn’t be a good mystery without a little suspense, right? “Ladies and gentlemen, this invitation is not to be trifled with,” concludes Daniel Craig’s Inspector Blanc as the party is just getting started. The film debuts on Netflix on December 23, but if you are rightfully eager to see Glass Onion on the big screen, there will be a weeklong window where the film will be screened in 600 US theaters (more to be announced around the world) from November 23 to 29. Tickets for the “sneak-preview event” will go on sale Monday , October 10, here.
