During a recent video interview with Comicbook.com, Ram Bergman and Johnson shared many thoughts on 'Knives Out 3' while also discussing 'Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.'

He said, "The first one, [Johnson] had the idea for years in his head, but he only put pen to paper like late January and by end of October we were filming it, which is a super fast. In this movie, he really did not have an idea. He just stopped thinking and we were... From the moment he started really writing it, like, nine months later, a year later, we were filming. So, the good thing, he is very motivated to go do the next one as quickly as possible. But, you know, we'll see how fast he is but this is gonna be a challenge. It's gonna be a bigger challenge. So we'll see how long it's gonna take."

Riding the same boat Johnson had a similar point of view. Johnson himself sees the daunting task of matching the quality of 'Knives Out' and 'Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery' with the third installment. "Oh God, I mean, I have to, I still have to start writing Knives Out 3," Johnson said. "I gotta figure out what the next Benoit Blanc mystery is, what it's called, where it's set. So, I got a lot of work to do. So, TBD, I don't wanna give myself a deadline yet cause I definitely won't meet it."
