The four friends on the screen are actor Natasha Lyonne, basketball star Kareem-Abdul Jabbar, and musical legends Angela Lansbury and Stephen Sondheim. While these appearances don't impact the plot of Glass Onion, it adds some humor and more star power.
His name is Phillip. I just basically thought who would it give me the most joy for Benoit Blanc to be with, and I thought Hugh Grant. He was such a joy to be with, he came to set for one day, did that one disconnected scene and trusted us to put it in the movie.
In Glass Onion — which takes place against the backdrop of the coronavirus pandemic — Lyonne appears as herself over Zoom for a game of Among Us with Blanc (Daniel Craig), NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabar (co-author of the Mycroft Holmes novel series), the late Angela Lansbury (star of Murder, She Wrote) and the late ...

It is not known how much Hugh Grant was paid for his brief role in 2022's Glass Onion, the sequel to 2019's Knives Out. As Grant only had a cameo in the film, it is unlikely he was paid a large amount, possibly being paid in the hundreds of thousands or doing the part as a favor.
Miles Bron is the main antagonist of the 2022 murder mystery film Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. He is a billionaire tech entrepreneur, and the CEO of Alpha Industries, who ousted his business partner Cassandra "Andi" Brand from the company over the experimental fuel alternative Klear.
The films are critiques of how greed can cause rich people who only care about money to commit horrible acts like murder, with the central theme of Glass Onion only further exploring what Knives Out began in how murder and money can often go hand in hand.
As Glass Onion progressed, it was revealed that Helen, Andi's twin sister, was impersonating Andi to uncover the mystery of her twin's death and find her sister's killer.
Miles does, though, so did he clue into who his surprise guest really was at any point? Rian Johnson says the answer is no. After all, "Glass Onion" makes Klear that Miles Bron is an idiot. Supporting this, Johnson notes that Miles is just as shocked as the other characters when they realize "Andi" is really Helen.
Rian Johnson, writer-director of Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, has recently revealed that the cast and crew of the film shot an end-credits sequence that would have ruined the film's impactful ending. Luckily, Johnson and co decided against using the stinger, which massively benefited the film's story.
Over the span of eight years, the Notting Hill actor welcomed five children with actress Tinglan Hong and his now-wife Anna Eberstein. Though Grant has kept his kids out of the public eye, he has occasionally discussed his family life. In 2018, the father of five shared that he loved making his kids laugh.
But it's not the all-star cast or Rian Johnson's new whodunit mystery that has fans talking–it's the cameo made by none other than the Love Actually star, Grant. Spoiler alert! In the film, Grant and Craig are living together as lovers–a detail that audiences can't help but celebrate and, in some cases, demand more of.
Daniel Craig and Hugh Grant have been confirmed as the fictional power couple of the century. The two appear as husbands in the new Knives Out sequel Glass Onion.
Filming began on Spetses, an island in Greece, on June 28, 2021. Johnson discovered the Amanzoe's Villa 20 in Porto Heli and decided to use it as a major filming location. It also housed the cast and their families for the majority of the shoot, which Johnson described as "a summer vacation where we also made a movie".
Edward Norton's billionaire retreat is a villa at the Greek resort Amanzoe, and it's just as spectacular as it looks. Netflix had fans of Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery in a bit of a tizzy over the holidays after a listing for billionaire Miles Bron's private island estate appeared on Zillow.

Benoit Blanc Hitting The Piano Key Is An Investigation Technique. Benoit knew the truth in Knives Out from the very start, and that's thanks to his unique investigation techniques. Benoit isn't just hitting the piano key at random times, instead, it's a way to alert Detective Elliott to ask a specific question.
By the time he emerges in last year's sequel, “Glass Onion,” the tie is absent. In its place, Blanc displays an arsenal of neckerchiefs in robin's-egg blue, yolk yellow and a silky-looking salmon. He arrives on the film's sandy setting as more of a raffish retiree.
