Rian told The Hollywood Reporter that the sequel will focus more on Daniel Craig’s character – detective Benoit Blanc – as he investigates a new murder.
Rian also said that he’s hoping to start making the film in 2021.
Even though production company Lionsgate has not officially greenlit the Knives Out sequel, the fact the movie made a mega $247 million worldwide is usually a pretty good sign.
“We had so much fun doing this. If we could get together every few years and do a new Benoit Blanc mystery… just do, like, a new cast, new location, new mystery about a whole new set of things, I think that would be a blast,” Johnson said.
“But we’ll see.”
Johnson revealed that the super-stacked cast only came on board when Daniel Craig signed on.
“Once we had Daniel, we were making the movie. And I think from there on out — I mean, he made it easy, because everybody wants to work with Daniel Craig. So, it was like a snowball going down the hill. All these actors started jumping on,” Johnson said.
“There was no one I had to get on my knees and beg — thank God! I’m shocked, because you look at this cast and you would think I had to sell a kidney to get one of them!”
