Rian Johnson thinks he can get away from that A Knives Out Mystery subtitle for future movies

But now, with Glass Onion doing pretty well on Netflix, Johnson is confident that he’ll eventually be able to get away with dropping that subtitle and replacing it with a better one—specifically A Benoit Blanc Mystery. That’s what Johnson told The Filmcast (f.k.a. The Slashfilmcast) recently, saying that he wants “to see how quickly we can lose” A Knives Out Mystery as the official subtitles for these things, adding that, with Glass Onion, “the reach of Netflix” and the number of people who have apparently seen the film means that “we’re at least getting closer to being able to get away with A Benoit Blanc Mystery and people would know what we’re talking about.”

So if we want that to happen by the third movie, we all need to start calling them “Benoit Blanc movies” and not “Knives Out movies,” so… ignore the thing up above where we said these were “Knives Out movies.” We need to get the name Benoit Blanc into the public consciosness so that someday someone will say, “What’s the name of the Benoit Blanc movie where Captain America takes the knives out on the woman who throws up when she lies?”
