With all the hype surrounding Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, it felt like only a matter of time before Knives Out Three was announced. Well, I do declare we received that exact news this week with the franchise’s writer/director Rian Johnson

“I’ll keep doing it as long as Daniel [Craig] and I are having a good time. I’ll keep making these as long as they let me,” he said in an interview with .
