The sequel film will debut in limited cinemas on a date not to be disclosed, and on Netflix throughout the world on Friday, December 23.
Johnson says that Blanc’s love of big words is partly to blame for the film’s title, which is a reference to a Beatles song from 1968 with the same name.
“I’m always fishing for something fun that Blanc can grab onto as an overwrought metaphor that he can beat to death,” Johnson shared in a statement “This is all in plain sight from the very start. So, the idea of glass came to me, something that’s clear. I’ll be very honest. I literally got out my iPhone and searched my music library with the word ‘glass.’ There’s got to be some good glass songs. I was like, “Oh, is it a glass fortress? Is it a glass castle? Is it a glass man?” The first thing that came up, because I’m a huge Beatles fan, is ‘Glass Onion.’”
