The highly anticipated Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) has just added one more reason to be excited about the event. Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is slated to have its world premiere at TIFF. The event is scheduled to run in full form after the pandemic forced it to a smaller scale affair last year from September 8 through September 18. However, it is unknown at this time which specific date the film will be showcased. This release will follow the precedent established with the first Knives Out, which debuted at the 2019 version of TIFF.
With the world premiere date for the sequel being slated for the Toronto International Film Festival, the assumption could be made that Glass Onion will follow suit with the original Knives Out and have its official release on Netflix in mid-November of this year. This would in theory be in line with the announcement of the “holiday season” release for the film with the title reveal teaser.
The news of the official premiere date will be exciting for fans as more information about the sequel project has been released. The title of Glass Onion came out earlier this month along with writer and director Rian Johnson explaining that this film (and any other future installments in the franchise) will be a different type of variation on the mystery genre, much like the classic stories by Agatha Christie.
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is written and directed by Rian Johnson, who also helmed the original film in the franchise. The film will see the return of Daniel Craig into the role of detective Benoit Blanc as he solves a new mystery with a new ensemble of characters around him. The all-star supporting cast for the project consists of the likes of Edward Norton, Janelle Monae, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr, Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline, Kate Hudson, and Dave Bautista. It will certainly be interesting to continue to learn more about what this highly anticipated film has in store in the coming months before its release.
