COLLIDER: I love that you’ve joined the insane cast that’s been assembled forKnives Out 2. Have you read a script for that yet, or do you sign onto that without getting to read one, since how could you say no to that?
LESLIE ODOM JR.: Good question. I have read the script and it’s gonna be great fun. The first one was such a breakout, runaway hit that I think surprised everyone that worked on it. But now, they have an audience of rabid fans and an audience that is waiting very patiently to see what they wanna say next. And so Rian [Johnson] is acutely aware of all those people and he wants to deliver something that’s satisfying and entertaining, so that’s what we’re gonna try to do. I’m so excited to go to Greece and make something special for these fans.
When we followed up on the timeline for filming, Odom Jr. also revealed that he’ll be heading to Greece in a week, so it sounds like cameras will be rolling on the upcoming sequel in short order.
Stay tuned to Collider for more of our interview with Odom Jr., as well as more news from the set ofKnives Out 2.
