The Toronto Film Festival said Wednesday that Netflix’s Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, Rian Johnson’s follow-up to his hit 2019 murder mystery pic, will world premiere at this year’s edition of the festival, which runs September 8-18.
No firm date has been set for the premiere. Knives Out, which grossed $311.6 million worldwide when it bowed in November 2019, also had its world premiere that year at TIFF.
Daniel Craig returns to the film franchise as gentleman detective Benoit Blanc, who this time travels to Greece to peel back the layers of a mystery involving a new cast of colorful suspects. The A-list cast this time includes Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Jessica Henwick and Madelyn Cline along with Kate Hudson and Dave Bautista.
Johnson directed and wrote the pic and produces with his producing partner Ram Bergman.
Netflix has been slowly rolling out info for its franchise since it landed it a blockbuster deal in March 2021 after a bidding battle with Apple and Amazon. As Deadline broke, Netflix pacted with Johnson to make two sequels with Johnson and the helm and Craig as Blanc.
The original Knives Out starred Christopher Plummer, Ana de Armas, Chris Evans, Michael Shannon, Jamie Lee Curtis, Don Johnson, LaKeith Stanfield and more and was acquired in a single-picture deal by MRC, which distributed it via Lionsgate. The first film cost $40 million and was owned and licensed by Johnson and Bergman on a picture-by-picture basis, meaning they could get the best price they could find for follow-ups.
Sources said the final Netflix deal for the sequels was worth north of $400 million, making it one of the biggest streamer pacts in history.

Ryan Gosling is doing some grocery shopping.
Somewhere during the tediously long shootout that more or less climaxes Joe and Anthony Russo’s uneven espionage actioner The Gray Man (★★☆☆☆), it hit me that I couldn’t exactly recall the name of the movie’s hero, played by Ryan Gosling. Was it Cord, or Cole? It’s not that it never came up, but somehow, his name — Court Gentry, as it turns out — simply didn’t register.It also didn’t seem to matter, both because Court had intentionally become a ghost, a CIA operative known only as Sierra Six, and because Gosling’s bland take on the trained assassin with “a very particular set of skills” à la Taken feels like it could have been played by any number of A-list actors.That’s so not the case with Six’s ruthless nemesis Lloyd Hansen, a name repeated often, with fear or infuriation, and a villain personified with an oddball mix of glee and cruelty by erstwhile Captain America, Chris Evans.Between two Avengers films and two Captain America sequels, the Russo’s have banked billions at the box office on the back of Evans’ preternaturally upstanding Marvel hero.
Netflix places one of its biggest bets yet on “The Gray Man,” a globe-trotting action thriller starring Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans and Ana de Armas. One of the streamer's most expensive films, “The Gray Man" is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, the brothers who presided over one of the biggest box-office smashes ever ("Avengers: Endgame") before they started churning out blockbusters for Netflix. Their “Extraction,” with Chris Hemsworth, ranks as one of the service's most-watched films, and “The Gray Man” — a spy vs.
“The Gray Man,” the explosive new action extravaganza from Joe and Anthony Russo (directors of “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Avengers: Endgame”), debuts in theaters this weekend and hits Netflix next Friday (July 22), and it marks one of the biggest films Netflix has ever made. It stars Ryan Gosling, who returns to movies for the first time since 2018’s “First Man,” as the titular Gray Man, a shadowy operative for the C.I.A.
In sad news for Bridgerton fans and particularly for devotees of Regé-Jean Page and his smooth scene-stealing performance in the first season, the British actor has made it emphatically clear he won’t be returning – saying he’s moved on, and inviting Netflix to do the same.
Ryan Gosling is a champion for the ladies in his life!At the premiere of his new film,, the actor was praised by his co-star, Alfre Woodard, for defending and looking out for women on the movie's set. So who does the 41-year-old star credit for this trait? “My mom,” he told ET’s Lauren Zima at the film’s premiere on Wednesday.
Sasha Urban editorWednesday night was the premiere of “The Gray Man,” the Russo Brothers’ ambitious action thriller that, with a budget of $200 million, is the most expensive movie Netflix has ever made. On Thursday, the review embargo for the film lifted, bringing with it a generally underwhelmed response from critics.The film stars Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans as Court Gentry and Lloyd Hansen.
Peter Debruge Chief Film CriticAt age 13, Ryan Gosling was spreading cheer on “The Mickey Mouse Club.” But something must have snapped in the dozen years between “The Notebook” and “La La Land.” The Canadian heartthrob seems committed to convincing us that he can be a cold-blooded, even-keeled, unsentimental killer. Starting with Nicolas Winding Refn’s “Drive,” followed by the Danish director’s “Only God Forgives” and now playing the title character in the Russo brothers’ “The Gray Man,” an actor who once radiated charisma in “Crazy Stupid Love” has been perfecting an inexpressive cool that borders on nihilism, keeping his pulse stable and poker face fixed as he offs whatever adversaries come his way. Gosling doesn’t just want to be an action star; he wants to be the Hollywood version of Alain Delon, the handsome French icon who played a sociopath with perfect cheekbones in “Purple Noon” and a hit man with no visible emotions in “Le Samouraï.” “The Gray Man” is the payoff of Gosling’s low-key reinvention: an incredibly expensive, stunningly executed action vehicle in which he plays Six, an ex-con-turned-CIA assassin who’s so good at his job that he becomes a kind of liability, landing him at the top of the agency’s kill list.A reportedly $200 million whopper that Netflix will release first in theaters (on July 15) and then a week later on its streaming service, this is “The Avengers: End Game” directors Anthony and Joe Russo’s answer to the James Bond franchise (which reached its end game, with Daniel Craig at least, in last year’s “No Time to Die”).
Chris Evans’ new Netflix film, “The Gray Man,” hasn’t even been released yet, but it appears the actor has already lined up his next offering for the streaming service.
