GlassOnion filmmaker Rian Johnson explained by Benoit Blanc's lover never appears with him onscreen, and doesn't rule out future KnivesOut appearances: 'I should only be so lucky to have that actor in future installments in a murder mystery.' 😎
Rian Johnson talks about LGBTQ+ representation in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery and explains why Daniel Craig's Benoit Blanc is never on-screen with his partner. Craig captured the audience's attention with his unique accent, deductive skills, and chemistry with Ana de Armas in Knives Out. Johnson confirmed Benoit Blanc's sexuality before the premiere of Glass Onion.
Rian Johnson: It certainly wasn’t meant to skirt anything, but it wasn’t driven by COVID in particular. It was just kind of the way the scene was written. It’s the delight of connecting up that moment, when you come back to it halfway through, with the moment from the beginning was kind of the idea of it. I felt like having Blanc be gay and have a partner just felt like a very natural thing coming out of the first movie.
But at the same time, it’s a big part of who he is, and going forward, it’s going to be fun to learn more about that. It’s true, it is just a glimpse of it. And that was one thing that I thought about; we’re obviously going to want to see more of this.How Future Knives Out Films Can Expand On Hugh Grant's Role While the couple aren't shown interacting in person in Glass Onion, this inclusion is important LGBTQ+ representation.
