Netflix releases a new Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery trailer starring Daniel Craig's Benoit Blanc. Director Rian Johnson launched a new franchise in 2019 by creating an original murder mystery movie heavily inspired by Agatha Christie.

Knives Out was a critical hit and earned over $300 million worldwide in a surprising turn. It guaranteed that Johnson would be able to make Knives Out 2 if he desired, with Netflix eventually obtaining the rights to distribute the upcoming sequel and Knives Out 3. Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery came together quickly after this announcement and assembled another all-star cast around Daniel Craig.

The marketing campaign for Knives Out 2 kicked off a few months ago when the first trailer debuted online teasing a complicated murder mystery party hosted by Edward Norton's character. As expected for a Knives Out movie, the game takes a deadly turn and puts Blanc in a position to investigate.

Glass Onion's cast and murder mystery suspects include Dave Bautista, Kate Hudson, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr, Janelle Monáe, Jessica Henwick, and Madelyn Cline. The movie has already earned great reviews from playing at various movie festivals earlier this year.

Now, a new Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery trailer has been released before Rian Johnson's highly anticipated 2022 Netflix movie debuts. The footage focuses on the murder mystery party hosted by Edward Norton's character and how it goes awry, leading to someone being killed for real. The new Knives Out 2 trailer arrives weeks before the movie's limited one-week theatrical release starting on November 23. Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery arrives on Netflix on December 23.

The latest Knives Out 2 trailer is further evidence that Rian Johnson has another fun, twist-filled mystery to tell centered around Benoit Blanc in store for audiences. The writer/director has been very open about not wanting to repeat the same formula he used with Knives Out, which points to how different the sequel will be, including moving Glass Onion's story to Greece.


There are still a lot of familiar hallmarks of the first movie here, such as the great ensemble and complicated mystery that Blanc has to try and solve. But by using quotes from published reviews, the Knives Out 2 trailer also is sure to tell viewers that this new murder mystery story is even more surprising than the last.

The good news for those wanting to watch the Knives Out 2 trailer and still enjoy the experience of Blanc's detective skills at work is that the footage does not seem to include any major plot spoilers.

There are some new revelations about various characters and relationships, but the whodunnit story is still very much a mystery at this point. Since Knives Out 2's title teases the multiple layers of the story and mystery that is present in the sequel, hopefully future marketing materials do not spoil Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery's story.
