Benoit Blanc returns in his most dangerous case yet.
We first met the famed private detective in 2019’s Knives Out, when he was hired to investigate the death of best-selling author Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer). Blanc teamed up with nurse Marta Cabrera (Ana de Armas) to uncover the truth in a twisted case filled with angry relatives, red herrings, and fabulous knitwear.
Blanc’s skills were called upon once more inGlass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, when he headed to Greece to peel back the the layers of intrigue surrounding tech billionaire Miles Bron (Edward Norton) and an eclectic group of disruptors. Blanc was last seen sitting on the beach of Bron’s estate on an idyllic Greek island, calmly pondering the chaotic events of his past few days. But the fiery ending of Glass Onion could also be seen as a beginning — to the master sleuth’s next chapter.

Chris Evans has an idea in terms of how his character could maybe rejoin the “Knives Out” franchise.
The actor starred as Ransom Drysdale in the 2019 flick, alongside his “Ghosted” co-star Ana de Armas, who played Marta Cabrera.
Evans and de Armas recently sat down with Et Canada’s Carlos Bustamante, with them being questioned on what they’d say if director Rian Johnson called them up and asked whether they’d want to bring their characters back.

Evans insisted, “Great!” adding: “Come on, that would be amazing!” as de Armas also agreed she’d do it.
The “Blonde” actress pointed out that her character does have money now, that she inherited in the first flick, while Ransom is in prison for his grandfather Harlan Thrombey’s (Christopher Plummer) murder.

Talk about a plan that even Benoit Blanc himself would have to sit back and admire. After emerging as one of the most creative and talented up-and-coming artists with a number of original films, starting with "Brick" and continuing with "The Brothers Bloom" and "Looper," Rian Johnson leveraged his experiences on both "Breaking Bad" (where he directed two of the best episodes in the entire series) and "Star Wars" to firmly establish himself as one of the most exciting filmmakers in the business right now. With both "Knives Out" and its sequel "Glass Onion" under his belt, Johnson's hold on pop culture is about to continue with the Natasha Lyonne-starring series "Poker Face."
But what about the storyteller's next big-screen outing? To nobody's surprise, the break-out success of the Benoit Blanc series has ensured that audiences will receive a steady diet of murder-mysteries starring Daniel Craig's rambunctious detective for years to come.

Ana de Armas played the breakout role of Marta Cabrera in 2019's critical and financial hit Knives Out but it was a part that de Armas nearly passed on. In an interview with "Flaunt", de Armas revealed she almost passed on her career-making role since the only description for the character she received at first was "Latina, caretaker, & pretty".…...

Sharp, current political and social satire lies at the heart of Lionsgate’s “Knives Out,” a darkly comedic whodunnit that often aims to upend Hollywood’s cultural conventions.
One key player in the shift is Ana de Armas, who portrays a caretaker for Christopher Plummer’s character in the film. With a fully formed, fleshed-out character, de Armas sees roles such as hers as uncommon, she told Variety at Thursday’s “Knives Out” premiere in Westwood, Calif.
“These characters don’t exist. They’re rare. It’s just almost impossible to see – or at least the previous Latina, Spanish-speaking parts that I’ve seen before, they’ve really not necessarily had the best qualities or possibilities,” de Armas said. “Or they don’t really reflect our community or our strengths. Definitely in this set of a wealthy family, that’s not a character that you can even imagine succeeding and getting out of the whole situation well.

Director Rian Johnson has shared a series of character posters for his upcoming whodunnit murder mystery film, Knives Out. The movie looks like it’s going to be an extremely fun flick and I love the cast that the filmmaker managed to gather together for it.
In the posters below, you’ll see Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Lakeith Stanfield, Michael Shannon, Ana de Armas, Don Johnson, Jamie Lee Curtis, Toni Collette, Christopher Plummer, and more. Each of the posters come along with details on each of the characters.
The story is set in an old Victorian style mansion with several family members who don’t like each other, gathered together to celebrate their father’s birthday, but the party comes to an end when the father is murdered. Two detectives played by Craig and Stanfield come to investigate the death and they are going to stay in the mansion until the investigation is complete.
