Spoiler Alert!!!
Stop right here if you’ve not watched the sequel to the 2019 whodunnit comedy-thriller. It’s been three days since the Rian Johnson movie was released for streaming on Netflix and over a month since it showed on the big screen in limited theaters.

Streaming on Netflix gave more audiences access to the movie and its interesting tale of friendship and betrayal featuring an ensemble cast.
Amongst its star-studded cast, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery hid an elite sub-cast including British star Hugh Grant, veteran actress Angela Lansbury (yes, her), NBA player Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, tennis pro Serena Williams, amongst others.
Scroll down to see the list of cameos including the scenes they appeared in.
Angela Lansbury, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Natasha Lyonne, & Stephen Sondheim
The famous sleuth who stole the show in part one, Knives Out, no longer had interesting cases to pursue because of the pandemic since that’s when the movie was set. Blanc spent his days in a bathtub playing Among Us with some friends over Zoom.
Surprisingly, the eclectic quartet included Angela Lansbury (actress), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (ex-NBA player), Natasha Lyonne ( Russian Doll ), and Stephen Sondheim (music composer).
It’s a pleasure to see Lansbury in such a lighthearted role since the veteran actress died in October.
Hugh Grant
The second surprise cameo came from Hugh Grant, who played Benoit Blanc’s (Daniel Craig) roommate, Phillip. He received the package on Blanc’s behalf since the sleuth occupied his time playing Zoom games with the last four cameos.
Yo-Yo Ma
How else would Johnson sell Birdie Jay (Kate Hudson) as a superstar actress than have her host a party during the pandemic with Yo-Yo Ma playing the cello in the living room? He wasn’t just eye candy, as he proved efficient with his musical knowledge while Birdie Jay worked a puzzle box.
Ethan Hawke
Would you open your mouth for an odd-looking man in a suit to shoot an unknown substance into it during a pandemic? Well, the motley crew did before sailing to the Greek Island that served as the location for the plot.
Guess who dispensed the disinfectant – Ethan Hawke! He was almost unrecognizable in his costume as he sleeked his hair and wore sunglasses.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Dong!
Miles Bron’s island had a grand clock that chimed on the hour with Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s voice yelling, “Dong.” It was an interesting comic relief when things got tense during the scenes.
Serena Williams
Of course, Miles could afford to book Serena Williams as his personal fitness trainer in his state-of-the-art gym.
Jared Leto’s Kombucha
Jared Leto didn’t feature in the movie, but his tropical drink with three percent alcohol was a major star. They joked about it having way more alcohol content than specified because it made Janelle Monae’s character, Helen, drunk from one bottle.
Watch the movie for more cameos.
