We don’t know much about the movie’s plot just yet – according to the official Netflix description, It will be held in Greece But Johnson shared a little bit of his vision for the franchise In a thread on Twitter:

The thing I love about Agatha Christie is that she never steps into the water so creatively. I think there is a misconception that her books use the same formula over and over again, but fans know the opposite is true.

It wasn’t just settings or kill methods, she was constantly working on expanding the genre conceptually. Under the whodunnit umbrella she has written spy thrillers, primary spy horrors, serial killer hunts, gothic novels, psychological character studies, and fantastic travel novels.

when made Take out the knivesthat’s what piqued my interest about the possibility of making more puzzles with Daniel as Benoit Blanc – to emulate Christie and make each movie feel like a whole new book, with its own tone, ambition, reason for being…and title (ta dah).

Netflix landed this sequel and another one last year In a deal said to be worth more than $400 million. Johnson will also direct the third film, and Craig is set to star in it as well.
