"I was just very lucky to be part of something,
the Olympics, and to get to work with her on something that I
think a lot of people enjoyed and liked and laughed at," Craig
said on the red carpet at the Toronto International Film
Festival.
Writer-director Rian Johnson thanked a different majesty, the
"queen of murder mysteries Agatha Christie," of whom he said
every part of the series drew inspiration.
"Knives Out" grossed more than $300 million at the worldwide box
office, proving fans were excited by Johnson's take on a
whodunit. Johnson said he hopes to "scratch the same itch" with
the sequel.
"It feels current, it feels now. It deals with issues we're
dealing with day-to-day," said producer Ram Bergman. "Studios
and filmmakers, for whatever reason, thought no one was
interested (in the genre), but actually people are."
"Glass Onion" follows a similar formula as Southern detective
Benoit Blanc (Craig) sets out to solve a new mystery, this time
on a Greek island. In Greece, Craig encounters a group of quirky
characters played by stars including Kate Hudson, Kathryn Hahn,
Edward Norton, Leslie Odom Jr. and Janelle Monáe.
The stars were tight-lipped about the plot, not wanting to
divulge any spoilers, but Kate Hudson said she very much enjoyed
playing her character Birdie Jay.
"It was like putting on a different skin and I really loved
every second of it."
