The ensemble cast this time around features Edward Norton, Kate Hudson, Janelle Monae, and Dave Bautista among others (including a couple of high-profile cameos) while the setting is a futuristic mansion on a private Greek island, owned by tech billionaire Miles Bron (Norton).<\/p>\n
As with the first film in the franchise, Johnson likes to keep the audience guessing \u2013 with a number of twists and turns throughout the runtime \u2013 and so if you\u2019ve just reached the end of the film and still need a few questions answered, you can read on for the Glass Onion ending explained. Though beware as heavy spoilers lie ahead<\/strong>.<\/p> Before we get into the nitty-gritty of the ending, it\u2019s probably best that we begin with a brief reminder of the set-up.<\/p>\n The film opens with Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) receiving an invitation to the Greek island home of an immensely wealthy tech entrepreneur named Miles Bron (Edward Norton), where he soon finds he\u2019s the only person on the guestlist not connected to Miles\u2019s inner circle.<\/p>\n That circle consists of his head scientist Lionel Toussaint (Leslie Odom Jr), Connecticut Governor Claire Debella (Kathryn Hahn), fashion designer Birdie Jay (Kate Hudson), and men\u2019s rights streamer Duke Cody (Dave Bautista), all of whom appear to be funded by Miles \u2013 which in turn ensures their loyalty to him.<\/p>\n The first twist occurs when Miles takes Blanc aside and informs him he actually hadn\u2019t invited him at all, and that therefore someone amongst the party had somehow engineered for him to be there. Miles initially assumes it\u2019s all a joke as part of the elaborate murder mystery-themed party game he is hosting, and so allows the detective to stay.<\/p>\n Anyway, Miles is preparing to launch a supposedly revolutionary new fuel called Klear \u2013 and is keen to press ahead with the launch despite warnings that it could be extremely dangerous. One of the fiercest critics of the fuel is Cassandra \u201cAndi\u201d Brand (Janelle Monae), the former CEO of the technology company Alpha which she founded with Miles, and most of the guests are surprised when she shows up on the island alongside them.<\/p>\n Anyway, on the first night of their stay \u2013 when Blanc has already easily deciphered Miles\u2019 carefully planned mystery game \u2013 Duke suddenly collapses to the floor and dies, which prompts understandable panic and a lot of fingers pointed at Andi.<\/p>\n The thing is, Andi is not actually Andi. As she reveals to Blanc, the person who is claiming to be Andi is actually her twin Helen Brand, who has been informed that her sister has mysteriously died and has come to the island to try and identify the culprit, enlisting the help of Blanc in the process. The news of Andi\u2019s death has not yet been made public and so Helen is posing as her sister and working against the clock to find the killer.<\/p>\n The key to all this, she assumes, is a cocktail napkin that dates back to the early days of the group\u2019s friendship, which proves that Andi had initially come up with the idea for Alpha. This had been unable to be used as evidence when Miles had won a lawsuit against Andi and forced her out of the company \u2013 with help from testimony from the other members of the inner circle \u2013 and Helen reckons that one of the others had found the napkin and killed Andi in order to prevent the truth from coming out and seeing them prosecuted for perjury.<\/p>\n Things take another turn when Helen appears to be shot, but she is saved thanks to a handily placed journal in her jacket pocket. Spotting a perfect opportunity, Blanc helps Helen fake her death and then gathers the remaining partygoers in Miles\u2019 art room where he presents his grand theory.<\/p>\n The truth, he explains, is that Miles had been responsible for both Andi\u2019s murder and Duke\u2019s. He killed the former when the napkin\u2019s existence was made clear to him by Lionel and then spiked Duke\u2019s drink with pineapple juice \u2013 to which he is allergic \u2013 after the latter had begun to cotton on.<\/p>\n You see, just before his death, Duke had received a Google alert informing him of Andi\u2019s death \u2013 and coupled with the fact he had previously seen him speeding away from Andi\u2019s house he puts two and two together and realises what had happened.<\/p>\n While Blanc has been explaining this, Helen has taken the opportunity to locate the key napkin, and she arrives in the room where the others are gathered to reveal her true identity \u2013 only for Miles to immediately grab the napkin and burn it, destroying the evidence.<\/p>\n This understandably sends Helen into a furious rage, and she begins destroying all of Miles\u2019 valuable art, eventually causing the mansion to explode due to the malfunctioning Klear, which has been powering the whole complex. Among the artworks to be ruined in the carnage is the Mona Lisa \u2013 which Miles had loaned from the Louvre \u2013 making true his wish to be \u201cremembered in the same sentence as the Mona Lisa.\u201d<\/p>\n This all has the double whammy effect of ruining Miles\u2019 reputation and proving that Klear is dangerous, and so realising that it no longer benefits them to cover for him, the surviving members of the inner circle finally agree to side with Helen and testify against Miles \u2013 guaranteeing his downfall.<\/p>\n Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is now streaming on Netflix<\/a>.\u00a0Sign up for Netflix from \u00a36.99 a month<\/a>.
