Rian Johnson doesn't care about Benoit Blanc's origins: 'I don’t know the notion of building out a backstory, learning where he came from...I have a natural inclination to push that stuff back and to say a little goes a long way in terms of that.'
Knives Out 2 director Rian Johnson explains why there will never be a Benoit Blanc prequel movie . Daniel Craig’s eccentric detective made his memorable cinematic debut in Johnson’s surprise 2019 hit Knives Out. And this year Benoit Blanc is back and dealing with another mystery involving another all-star cast of suspects in the highly-anticipated Netflix-produced sequel Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.
Craig’s Blanc is of course the only character to carry over from the first Knives Out movie to the second. And Johnson and Craig indeed plan to reunite again with Knives Out 3 already set at Netflix. But when it comes to the prospect of further exploring the Blanc character via prequels, Johnson has made it plain that he’s not the least bit interested. Speaking to Uproxx, Johnson shot down the idea of a Young Benoit Blanc Chronicles movie, saying “Sorry.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY I don’t know the notion of building out a backstory, learning where he came from, all of that stuff, to me, I don’t know, I have a natural inclination to kind of push that stuff back and to say a little goes a long way in terms of that. And ultimately this has to be the story of the mystery. The mystery’s the thing. And the detective is interesting in the way he serves his function within solving the mystery. And if we get glimpses beyond that, that’s great.
Fans obviously feel differently about Benoit Blanc and desire to know more about Craig’s enigmatic character. But in truth, the fact that Blanc is so strange and mysterious is a big part of what makes him compelling in the first place.
Johnson for his part clearly has tremendous respect for the form of the murder-mystery, and is simply adhering to the “rules” of the genre by making the detective something of a blank . That Craig is so entertaining in the part obviously adds extra value along the way, and makes the whole package that much more appealing for fans. But delving into who Benoit Blanc is, where he came from and how he got to be what he became, is not part of the agenda for a movie like Knives Out 2.
