Will There Ever Be A Knives Out Prequel?

A lot of the fans want to know more about Benoit Blanc at every opportunity. Well, Rian Johnson spoke to Uproxx about the possibility of heading back to the past at some point. While it has its allure, he doesn't think we're going full prequel anytime soon.

"This is something that I was very relieved that Daniel and I are on the same page with," Johnson said of the character's history. "I think little tiny glimpses into that is fun for me. And it's a trap that I find myself as a writer having to really push back against, just for myself. Having Daniel Craig in that part, the temptation is to think that Blanc as a character is what's interesting about these movies."

He continued, "He's interesting in his function within the mystery, you know what I mean? ... I don't know, the notion of building out a backstory, learning where he came from, all of that stuff, to me, I don't know, I have a natural inclination to kind of push that stuff back and to say a little goes a long way in terms of that. And ultimately this has to be the story of the mystery. The mystery's the thing. And the detective is interesting in the way he solves his function within solving the mystery. And if we get glimpses beyond that, that's great. But I feel like a little of that goes a very long way for me."

Here's what Netflix has to say about the latest Benoit Blanc mystery: "When the game ends, the mystery begins. Daniel Craig, Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline, with Kate Hudson, and Dave Bautista in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery."
