Johnson, who has starred in Miami Vice and Django Unchained, played Richard Drysdale in Knives Out, which saw Detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) travel to a manor house to solve the death of a famous author.
Blanc returned for another case in Glass Onion, and writer-director Rian Johnson recently revealed that his production company was gearing up for a third entry in the franchise, with the filmmaker teasing what could be expected.
"I'm starting to work on the third movie now, and that's also what's got me creatively jazzed," he said earlier this year. "I don't have to replicate the last movie at all. The goal is to strike out in a completely new direction tonally and thematically.

"We make these movies as entertainment first and foremost. What was exciting about doing [Glass Onion] was the notion of trying to emulate [Agatha] Christie with a completely new story."
Johnson, who also directed Looper and Star Wars: The Last Jedi, also explained his approach to filmmaking, saying he wanted to resist nostalgia: “It's the exact opposite of what I'm always trying to get to: something vibrant and sharp that feels very present."
There is currently no release date for Dr Odyssey.
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is available to stream on Netflix. Knives Out is available now on 4K Ultra-HD, Blu-ray and DVD, as well as on Prime Video, iTunes and other digital platforms.
