Netflix made this revelation along with a publication of photos of the cast and the movie’s filming. According to the statements of its director Rian Johnson, it is more than halfway through its development. 

Johnson also commented on the film and his character on Netflix’s Tulum website. This one said, “I’m always looking for something fun that Blanc can grab onto as an over-the-top metaphor that he can beat to death.” 

Johnson then added, “This is all in plain sight from the beginning. Then, I came up with the idea of glass, something that’s clear. I’ll be very honest. I literally pulled out my iPhone and searched my music library for the word ‘glass’. There’s got to be some good glass songs. I was like, ‘Oh, is it a glass fortress? Is it a glass castle? Is it a glass man?’ The first thing that came up, because I’m a big Beatles fan, is ‘Glass Onion.'”

These comments also explained the origin of the film’s name. It is named after the Beatles song that bears the same title as this production.    

What we Know so far About the Movie

As we mentioned before, the movie’s name is due to one of The Beatles’ songs with the same title, which was released in 1968. As for the plot, it will not follow the same story as the previous movie. This decision is because the director wants to give a different scope to the facts of the crime, as Agatha Christie does.

As for the cast, few will repeat in this film, as is the case of Daniel Craig. Other actors who will be in it are Kate Hudson, who had fantastic participation in the movie Almost Famous (2000). Also in this film will be Leslie Odom Jr. from One Night in Miami, Edward Norton, Dave Bautista, Janelle Monae, Kathryn Hahn, Madelyn Cline, Jessica Henwick and Ethan Hawke.

The characters that will play the cast are unknown, except the protagonist Daniel Craig. However, statements by Leslie Odom Jr. indicate that this new sequel will be better than the second one. In this one, everyone is highly suspicious, so showrunners will put users to guess who is guilty of the crimes committed in this film.

Glass Onion’s release date was not officially revealed in cinemas, but it will be at the Toronto Film Festival. Which runs from September 8 to September 18. However, no release date has been announced. Yet, on the Netflix platform, it has already confirmed its appearance, which will be on December 22 for the United States and December 23 for Europe.
