Hugh Grant has confirmed that he’s “married to James Bond” in new Knives Out sequel Glass Onion.
The sequel to Rian Johnson’s 2019 thriller movie initially had a restricted launch in cinemas, being screened from November 23 earlier than debuting on Netflix precisely a month later.
Within the movie, we get a fleeting glimpse into the non-public lifetime of Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) and a take a look at Philip, a personality performed by Hugh Grant who seemingly is Blanc’s husband.
Confirming the idea, Grant informed Collider: “It’s the tiniest little second. I don’t actually know why they wished to do it however anyway, I assumed Knives Out 1 was sensible, and so yeah, I assumed why not? I flip up for just a few hours…”
Netflix not too long ago revealed that Glass Onion: A Knives Out Thriller was watched for 82.1million hours over its first weekend.
By Netflix’s estimation, dividing viewing hours by the movie’s 139-minute runtime, 35million households worldwide watched the movie over the Christmas weekend. These figures make Glass Onion the sixth largest movie debut on Netflix within the final two years.
Final yr, Netflix paid $450million (£372million) for the rights to 2 sequels to Knives Out, plus $40million (£33million) to provide the primary of those, which turned Glass Onion. The opposite sequel is already in improvement.
NME not too long ago spoke to Daniel Craig and Janelle Monáe concerning the movie in a video interview. Craig mentioned, amongst many issues, his character’s sexuality, after Rian Johnson confirmed that his character, Benoit Blanc, was homosexual when it was revealed that Blanc is now dwelling with a person.
When requested by NME if his character’s sexuality was mentioned way back or naturally emerged over time, Craig replied: “It was one thing that appeared proper. You already know; look who he lives with – who wouldn’t need to dwell with that particular person?”
In a four-star evaluate of Glass Onion, NME wrote: “Glass Onion celebrates the murder-mystery with model and sass by crafting Hollywood’s most costly wanting parlour sport. That is what winter afternoons had been made for.”
