Ahead of the streaming premiere of Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, Netflix has dropped some new character posters to highlight the sequel's ensemble cast. Led by Daniel Craig returning as Detective Benoit Blanc, the film introduces a new set of suspects played by some of today's hottest stars. Along with Craig, the new cast members, which have gotten their own colorful character posters, include Kate Hudson, Leslie Odom Jr., Dave Bautista, Janelle Monae, Edward Norton, Jessica Henwick, Kathryn Hahn, and Madelyn Cline. Even the Mona Lisa has been given its own character poster, suggesting the artwork plays a key role in the plot.
You can view the full gallery of character posters below.
"I don’t want to underplay the degree of intense work that it is for Daniel,” Rian Johnson said upon the unveiling of the new posters, via Netflix. “But he’s also engaged with the work because he’s genuinely enjoying it, and you can feel that. He’s an amazing actor, but there is also something that’s just radiating off the screen.”
On recreating the magic of the original Knives Out with another stellar cast, Johnson added, "It did feel like getting lightning in the bottle again. It did absolutely feel similar to the first movie, where it felt like, ‘Oh, wow. This is a really special group of people who are coming together and genuinely having a great time working together.’ That doesn’t always happen.”
