Rian Johnson teases more Knives Out movies: "I might just dive in and see what we come up with"

After Glass Onion: A 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Knives Out Mystery proved a sensation at Toronto International Film Festival, then a smash hit at London Film Festival, it's fair to say anticipation for the sequel is high. And yet, despite detective Benoit Blanc's second on-screen outing not yet being in cinemas or on🌺 Netflix, director Rian Johnson's raring to go on Mystery three, which has already been con♛firmed in development at the streamer. 

"I had for a while thought that maybe I should do something else first," he tells , featuring 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avatar: The Way of Water on the cover. "But the God’s honest truth is, I had so much fun making this one, and the creative challenge of figuring out a third♉ movie that’s completely different from both this one and the first one – right now, that’s the most interesting creative challenge to me. So I might just dive in and see what we come up with."

"It might be [the next thing I do]," muses Daniel Craig, who plays Blanc and who has retired as his longest-runn🅠ing character, James Bond, offering him a little more free time. "I don’t know," he continues. "It de💃pends on how quick [Johnson] is."

And, if Johnson has his way, the Knives Out series might not stop at three films. "As long as the two of us are still having fun, and as long as we can continue to make these truly new experiences each time, and find new ways to challenge ourselves..." says Johnson. "The second we feel like we’re r🤪epeating ourselves, or just turning a crank on a machine, we’ll stop. Because to me, the whole conception of this whole series is the same way 🍎Agatha Christie did it with her books – we’re doing something new and surprising every time."
