Rian Johnson Talks About Making More KNIVES OUT Movies and Whether We Will Ever See His STAR WARS Trilogy

Rian Johnson really impressed fans and movie-goers when he released his 2019 murder-mystery family dramedy Knives Out. We are all looking forward to the second installment, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, which is hitting limited theaters next month and Netflix the week of Christmas. When the franchise was brought over to Netflix, two movies were ordered, and Johnson is prepared to make more.

In a recent interview on the Variety Awards Circuit Podcast, the director was asked about how many Knives Out movies he has in him. He responded:

“If each one of these can really be what Agatha Christie did, if it can be not just in a totally new location and a new cast, but also trying something exciting, 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.”

Johnson was then asked if he has plans to ever make his proposed Star Wars trilogy. He made Star Wars: The Last Jedi in 2017 to mixed reviews, and some fans have wondered if he would do better in a trilogy all his own. Johnson commented on it, saying:

“I have talked to Kathy [Kathleen Kennedy] about it and we’re still talking about it. I had such an amazing experience making ‘The Last Jedi.’ It’s entirely a matter of scheduling. For me, putting this [‘Glass Onion’] out and making the next one of these…the answer is I don’t know.”

When asked directly if we will definitively see the Rian Johnson Star Wars trilogy in the future, he answers, “God I hope so.”

So what would you like to see from Rian Johnson’s directing future? More Knives Out, more Star Wars, or maybe both?
