Norton revealed that Johnson liked the idea and took several live photos, with Hahn and Hudson on vocals. view full interview Below: ^Glass Onion: Knockout is a film with a deep connection to music, as clearly indicated by the song that inspired the film's title. Norton and Monáe simply wanted to explore this connection, by using it to inform the audience about their characters Miles and Andi's past connection. The fact that the main character behind Glass Onion's Andi style is pop star Monae is another big factor in the music industry's favor.
Norton and Monae planned an open mic night at the Glass Onion Bar, where the duo sang Bowie's "Moonage Daydream" to establish a connection between their characters. This choice is probably the best choice for a possible musical moment in the film, since it doesn't require any major changes to the story, and works naturally as an add-on to the characters' early interactions. The musical scene could have been a celebration between Miles and Andy after Miles and Andy showed him the napkin responsible for the Glass Onion Killer's identity and motivations.

Rank's identity returns. While it's too early to announce any cast members for Fallout 3, the movie will certainly take a page from its predecessors and assemble a talented cast of suspects for Blanc's next mystery. Since Glass Onion: Knockouts introduced Hugh Grant as Blank's boyfriend, the brief cameo could lead to a bigger role for Grant in Knockout 3. tomato
