Glass Onion is the first of two Knives Out sequels that have already been greenlit by Netflix, although a release date for the third film has yet to be set. But according to Glass Onion’s cast and crew, writer-director Rian Johnson might end up working on the third film in the franchise before he does any other projects.
“The first one, [Johnson] had the idea for years in his head, but he only put pen to paper like late January and by end of October we were filming it, which is a super fast,” producer Ram Bergman recently told ComicBook.com. “This movie, he really did not have an idea. He just stopped thinking and we were… From the moment he started really writing it, like, nine months later, a year later, we were filming. So, the good thing, he is very motivated to go do the next one as quickly as possible. But, you know, we’ll see how fast he is but this is gonna be a challenge. It’s gonna be a bigger challenge. So we’ll see how long it’s gonna take.”
