They are getting a little self referential here, aren’t they? Duke Cody (Dave Bautista) literally asks when the murder mystery starts.

I am getting a little bit of The Most Dangerous Game (1932) vibes. Ed Norton’s character of Miles Bron invites this eclectic bunch of people…but based off this trailer…he didn’t expect Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig).

With that being said, Bron has planned an elaborate murder mystery. It is all meant to be a game…that is until someone is actually killed.

This poses a question though. Who is actually killed?

Also, is this kind of a different version of Game Night (2018)?

We see Bron right after the circular pan of Blanc sizing the scene, but that could just be clever editing. Is it Jessica Henwick’s character of Peg, who is the most known actress seen least of all the characters in the trailer?

It is awesome that we don’t know. An air of mystery. Love all of it.

Here are just some other observations I have.

  • The costumes are going to be nuts. Love the outfits. Style is fucking awesome.
  • A very different vibe of paranoia because these people don’t seem to know each other. It is a distrust of the unknown, rather than the distrust of the ultra-known.
  • Much more emphasis put on a diverse cast.
  • No peaks at Hugh Grant or Ethan Hawke
  • A lot of people playing themselves…
    • Stephen Sondheim, Natasha Lyonne, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Serena Williams

This is the second trailer for Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. I doubt that we get a third full trailer. In fact, I don’t want one. Let us have the mystery.

Get your popcorn ready for Christmas because Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery released on Netflix on December 23, 2022.

Side note; Netflix’s deal with Rian johnson was for two sequels…so he has another one in the holster.
