Ahead of next month’s release of the mystery sequel Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, writer/director Rian Johnson has confirmed the sexual orientation of Daniel Craig’s character Benoit Blanc.

During a press conference at the London Film Festival last weekend, Johnson revealed that Blanc, the protagonist detective portrayed by the James Bond actor, is queer. When asked about a particular scene in the upcoming film which shows Benoit with a male lover, Johnson responded, “Yes, he obviously is.”
