I thought I will never be able to imagine Daniel Craig out of James Bond shadow. I was glad I was so wrong. We need more of Benoit Blanc 👍🙏

I get the strong feeling watching Daniel Craig interviews after having seen Glass Onion that he only wants to just be unleashed. Bond is so constrained. It's such an exercise in stoical subtlety. This dude wants to chew the fucking scenery. And, my god . . . when he does . . . it's so fantastic. He's superb from mannerisms, to costume (regarding which he collaborated heavily with the costume designer), to accent, to affectations and "business", to the blocking he got in this movie vs Knives Out. It's all so damn good, and I'm really happy that he now gets to work with a great partner in Rian Johnson and that we all get to reap the rewards of their efforts.

His actual personality (from the very few interviews I've seen) seems like a mix of bond and Benoit. And with each performance he's just exaggerating parts of himself.

@gameroftheyear1000

Doubt it. Connery had other massive roles like Indiana Jones dad, the rock, the hunt for red October, Highlander, the untouchables and Robin Hood but still was always known for Bond. I doubt Craig will be any different. Sucks too because outside of Bond he has some fantastic films. Layer cake comes to mind and it may actually be my favorite Daniel Craig film.

At the middle of the movie we started hoping they shoot a third one. This is how good the Knives Out movies are. We already were a fan of the first one… Second is amazing as well 10/10

Daniel Craig’s Southern Drawl is very charming and funny. It’s delightful and he can do an Italian-American Accent brilliantly with that SNL sketch on Long Island Medium.

Ali, thank you for putting the idea of Benoit Blanc x ‘Only Murders in the Building’ Crossover.

At 1:22 - I always loved Don Johnson's reaction to Benoit Blanc's name and how he mockingly repeats it. It's just perfect, like you instantly know everything about the character, how arrogant and smug but ignorant and uninformed he is (not even knowing one of the most famous detectives around), etc. And it's funny, it always makes me laugh, because his arrogant amusement at the name is so genuine.

So he memorized a 7-8 page monologue???? Daniel, you're amazing! Props and respect, sir.

Good news! Part of the original deal from Netflix _(a WHOPPING 450m$ deal)_ included at least 2 follow-ups - Glass Onion is the first, so there is at _least_ one other Knives Out movie with Craig as Blanc! Hopefully more!

Maybe it’s because Captain America has been etched in our memory that it was nice to see him in a quirky Jumper not being a superhero.

I really like Blanc because of his absolute funny personality. He reminds me of my uncle who can talk about how making a good gravy is important to learn in life.

Glass Onion is a Master Class in so much, `1. How to write a mystery to a sophisticated society, I do not want to give spoilers, but I had it nailed and even it made me start doubting myself, which means I love it when Blanc goes off on it in the solution,. I do not know that Craig could have been Blance without being Bond first, but I love the brilliant imbecilic detective who gets nothing and everything right all the time.

I too find myself anticipating the terminus of Gravity’s Rainbow
