"Glass Onion" on Netflix: Easter Eggs You Missed

In the Netflix film Knives Out sequel Glass Onion, there’s once again not only a star cast, but also plenty of hidden details for viewers to uncover.

A so-called Easter egg is already in the title: “Glass Onion” is the title of a song by the Beatles. The name of the first part was also originally a song, by Radiohead. By the way, the Beatles song can be heard at the end of the film, during the credits.

The disruptors get blue invitations from Miles Bron, which have what appears to be a blue target drawn on them. These circles are actually a so-called “Mati” amulet.

The symbol is particularly present in Greece, where the film’s action takes place, but also in other countries. It is said to protect against the “evil eye” or “evil eye”.

In one scene, Detective Benoit Blanc is in the bathroom performing “Among Us” with four other people. Did you recognize them all? They all have something to do with the theme of the film!

Angela Lansbury has starred in the show Murder Is Her Hobby for years. The player name she has in “Glass Onion” is an allusion to the original title of the crime series: Instead of “Murder she wrote” (German about “Mord, did she write”), she gambles under the name “Mshesolved” (German: ” M solved them”).

Another player is Stephen Sondheim. He wrote a crime novel. Incidentally, he also composed the song “Losing My Mind” that Blanc sang in “Knives Out”.

Natasha Lyonne has played the main role in the Netflix series “Matryoshka” (“Russian Doll”). She finds herself in a time warp there and, although she dies, she always comes back to life because she has a puzzle to solve. A reference to the character Andi Brand, who dies but somehow still seems to be alive.

Last but not least, some viewers are likely to see the NBA basketball player Kareem Abdul Jabbar have recognized. But what few people know: He also wrote a crime novel in which Sherlock Holmes’ brother Mycroft is the main character.

Daniel Craig, who plays detective Benoit Blanc, would be the only ‘Knives Out’ actor to also play in the sequel. However, the truth is that two other cast members have also returned – but this time in different roles.

For example, there is the role of “Darol”, adapted to Daryl from “The Walking Dead”. The character is played by Noah Saganwho was in the first part as Trooper Wagner.

Then there is the voice of the “Dong”. Behind it is Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who also lent his voice to a character in “Knives Out”: Detective Hardock in a TV series that Marta is watching.

Two actors starring in “Glass Onion” are also part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Dave Bautista plays Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy and Kathryn Hahn portrays Agatha Harkness in WandaVision. It’s all the funnier when Dave Bautista says in the original English version “Disruptors assemble” (German translation: “Disruptors hereby complete”): This is an allusion to the well-known words “Avengers assemble” (German: “Avengers, collect”) from the Marvel films.

But that’s not all: there will also be one in the film hot sauce by Jeremy Renner mentioned – the actor who portrays Hawkeye in the Marvel Universe.

Lead actor Daniel Craig played James Bond in the 007 films for years. And just there are some allusions to spy films in Glass Onion. First, there’s the character Whiskey – who has the same name as Agent Whiskey from “Kingsman: The Golden Circle”. And secondly, the actress Halle Berry is mentioned in the film. She was a Bond girl in “James Bond 007 – Die Another Day”.

There are several glass sculptures in Miles Bron’s mansion. One of them is a replica of the maltese falcon, the statuette from the crime classic “The Trail of the Falcon” from 1941.
