A fake murder mystery party turns deadly in the newest trailer forGlass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.
It’s all fun and games for the host, who does not actually plan on dying — “I’m not playing dead the whole weekend, dude” — until someone, whose identity is not revealed, is actually murdered.
The lights go out, a gunshot rings and famed detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) announces: “There’s been a murder and the killer is in plain sight.”
“For at least one person, this is not a game,” Blanc adds in his signature drawl.

The trailer givesKnives Outfans the biggest look yet into the highly anticipated sequel and its star-studded cast, including a pec-flexingDave Bautista, bubblyKate Hudsonand potty-mouthedKathryn Hahn. The cast also includesLeslie Odom Jr,Janelle Monáe,Madelyn Clineand Jessica Henwick.
Blanc is the only returning character, andaccording to Netflix’sTUDUM, the rest of the personalities are much bigger this time around.
“It’s not a family in the middle of New England working their stuff out,“Glass Onionwriter and director Rian Johnson told Netflix. “These are people who are all making their living, whether it’s as politicians or as rock star scientists, or as fashion magnates.”
Craig told Netflix that it was a “no-brainer” to return for the sequel and work with Johnson again.
“We had such an amazing cast in the last one and I didn’t know how we were going to top that, but we’ve equaled it,” theNo Time to Dieactor said. “The working experience, just to come on set and make these movies, is such fun.”
TheKnives Outsequel will peel back the layers of Blanc, who will play a much more central role than he did in the original film, which centered on the lovable Marta (Ana de Armas).
“Blanc gets this random invitation to come to this murder mystery on this island,” Johnson said. “We’re very much meeting these people and getting into this world through his eyes.”
