Netflix recently invited the fans to put the pieces together of a new mystery brewing on the streets of Greece. Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery’s first screening was at the Toronto International Film Festival on Saturday. This is a sequel movie to Chris Evans and Ana de Armas’ 2019 Knives Out, directed by Rian Johnson. The debut film followed the actions of a master detective, Benoit Blanc, who inspected the case of a wealthy patriarch.
It was highly praised for the plotlines and neatly assembled suspense that intrigued the viewers. Now the first critique reactions suggest Glass Onion beats Knives Out, with Daniel Craig & Janelle Monáe stealing the show for Netflix. Let’s dig in to know everything about the new installment of the murder mystery.

Daniel Craig is playing the role of Detective Benoit Blanc in the new film. The highly anticipated movie takes viewers to Greece and will be available on Netflix on December 23, 2022.

GLASS ONION: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY is just as sharp & enjoyable as the first film. A clever, modern mystery with many layers to peel back on its characters. Daniel Craig may return as Benoit Blanc but this film belongs to Janelle Monáe. Sleek production design, score & editing. pic.twitter.com/qmW7iwXBfT

Yes, #GlassOnion is as good as #KnivesOut, if not better – another very funny, supremely well written murder-mystery w/ twists & turns galore. I could watch Daniel Craig play Benoit Blanc forever. Also BIG shout out to Janelle Monáe, the film’s all-star without a doubt pic.twitter.com/MXWX7DGdEJ
