Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is continuing to captivate the pop culture landscape, with Rian Johnson’s star-studded murder mystery being chock-full of fun surprises. The film, which arrived on Netflix last weekend, is the first of two confirmed follow-ups to 2019’s Knives Out, and fans have already been speculating a lot about what the third film could bring. That was taken to a fever pitch on Thursday evening, with many taking to social media to compare the saga’s intricate plots to the recent arrest of controversial social media influencer Andrew Tate. Prior to his arrest on charges of sex trafficking, Tate engaged in a Twitter exchange with climate activist Greta Thunberg, which culminated in Tate sharing a lengthy response video. Reports surrounding Tate’s arrest have indicated that authorities were able to determine his location from a local pizza box shown in the video โ a specific clue that many have compared to a detail in a Knives Out film.
On Thursday night, Johnson reacted to the comparisons by responding to a tweet from Shazam! Fury of the Gods star Rachel Zegler, which suggested that he should adapt the real-life saga into his next movie. Johnson responded with an emoji and a photo of Glass Onion character Duke Cody (Dave Bautista) โ a fictional social media influencer and men’s rights activist who some fans have already compared to Tate.
