NEW YORK (AP) — “A toast to the disruptors,” Edward Norton's tech billionaire says in Rian Johnson's Oscar-nominated “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.” And why not a toast? Sunday's Academy Awards won't give a prize for best villain, but if they did, Miles Bron would win it in a walk.
Miles Bron is the main antagonist of Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. Bron is a rich Tech giant who owns a private estate in Greece. He is portrayed by Edward Norton.
While Helen searches for the final and crucial piece of the puzzle—Andi's napkin—Benoit distracts the party guests by concluding Miles was the murderer all along, of both Andi and Duke. Andi had found the napkin and Miles decided to poison her to hide the truth of his fraud.
However, the real mystery was not why Andi joined the others on Miles' private island but what was Andi's real identity to begin with. 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.
One big surprise was Hugh Grant as Blanc's boyfriend, Philip. In a recent interview with Empire's Spoiler Special podcast (via Collider), Johnson talked about Grant's cameo and further detailed Philip and Benoit's relationship. "They're a couple. His name is Phillip.
Does Daniel Craig play the same character in Glass Onion?
It is a standalone sequel to the 2019 film Knives Out, with Daniel Craig reprising his role as master detective Benoit Blanc as he takes on a new case revolving around tech billionaire Miles Bron (played by Edward Norton) and his closest friends.
While there, Whiskey sneaks away with Miles seemingly having an affair with him. Duke sees. It's later revealed that Duke had Whiskey seduce Miles to let Duke join Alpha News.

As Glass Onion later reveals, Miles murdered Andi at her home, then concealed evidence about stealing her tech empire so no one would trace it back to him. He then invited their peers to party, sending puzzle boxes to help build an alibi, as the news would frame it as a suicide.
Madelyn Cline plays Whiskey, Duke's girlfriend who's interested in building her own brand, and joins the group on their mysterious trip to Miles' island. Cline is currently starring in Outer Banks, and has previously appeared in Stranger Things and Boy Erased.
In an interview with Collider, Hugh Grant confirmed that his cameo character in Rian Johnson's Glass Onion, Phillip, is, in fact, married to Daniel Craig's character, the illustrious detective Benoit Blanc.
In Rian Johnson's Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, Kate Hudson plays the eccentric, over-the-top fashion entrepreneur Birdie Jay, who, at the beginning of the film, seems supremely flawed in every way possible.
Jay, I am writing to inform you that the proposed Bangladesh factory is notoriously one of the world's biggest sweatshops. Please advise." And then you replied: "Sounds perfect, thanks." With your Memoji dabbing. Peg : Birdie... please tell me you did not think sweatshops are where they make sweatpants.
Smashing the glass was not only cathartic for Helen, someone who had to pretend to be her sister and deal with a group of self-absorbed narcissists, but also as a way to ruin the man who had torn apart her sister's life. Miles' island was an extension of his ego, destroying it was destroying a part of him.
It is implied that he normally invites Andi but doesn't expect her to arrive. If he didn't invite her after murdering her, it would demonstrate that he knew she was dead, so the invite could have been sent to cover his own tracks.
I assumed he sent her the box because he always did even though she had previously declined and it would've been suspicious if he hadn't this time. So in order to keep up the ruse of not knowing she was/would be murdered he sent her one. It's a cover.
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery was released on Netflix last month, earning strong reviews from critics and audiences alike for its clever writing, which includes the reveal that Monáe's character, Andi, is actually Andi's twin sister, Helen.
