Whodunnit movie Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery has closed this year’s London Film Festival with stars said how pleased they are the industry is back in full swing following the pandemic.

The follow-up to the 2019 hit Knives Out sees Daniel Craig reprising his role as detective Benoit Blanc.

“It’s just wonderful to be here at the London Film Festival on the closing night,” the Bond star said.

“Especially with the standard of film this year, which has been so amazing – to be in that number is just exceptional.”

The rest of Glass Onion’s ensemble cast, including Edward Norton, Kate Hudson and Janelle Monae are new to the franchise.

The movie was shot partly in Greece during the pandemic, which meant the cast grew close as they were forced to spend time together.

“I mean, it was an amazing experience,” Craig said.

“We were under lockdown, so we were kind of restricted in our movements so we couldn’t really go very many places.

“It was about 150 degrees in the shade, but, you know, those are high-class problems.”
