You can both have a Benoit Blanc thriller that has Muppets in it, however they\u2019ll really feel misplaced. Or you may have a Muppet film that Benoit Blanc is in, but it surely\u2019ll really feel like a Muppet film. I wouldn\u2019t wish to compromise both of them. And I really feel like with the intention to make it effectively and make it work, you\u2019d have to choose and compromise one or the opposite. If I ever make a Muppet film, I simply wish to make a terrific Muppet film.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape\">\n<div class=\"responsive-img image-expandable img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:56.159822419534%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static1.colliderimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Muppets-Most-Wanted.jpg\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;&quot;\">\n<figure> <picture> <!--[if IE 9]> <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" sizes=\"1500px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.colliderimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Muppets-Most-Wanted.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=1500&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"943px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.colliderimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Muppets-Most-Wanted.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=943&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" sizes=\"767px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.colliderimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Muppets-Most-Wanted.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=767&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.colliderimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Muppets-Most-Wanted.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=480&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"901\" height=\"506\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Muppets Most Wanted\" src=\"https:\/\/static1.colliderimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Muppets-Most-Wanted.jpg\"\/> <\/picture> <\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"adPosition\":1,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":1,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":10,\"ruleCount\":1000,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"actualCount\":130} -->\n <\/div>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"adPosition\":1,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":1,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":11,\"ruleCount\":1000,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"actualCount\":130} --><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"related-single\">RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/glass-onion-video-rian-johnson-daniel-craig-fan-questions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8216;Glass Onion&#8217; Cast and Director Answer Fan Questions in New Video<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"adPosition\":1,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":1,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":12,\"ruleCount\":1000,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"actualCount\":212} --><\/p>\n<p>In extra optimistic information, nevertheless, Johnson did take to Twitter to deal with a fan&#8217;s suggestion that <em>Knives Out <\/em>take a leaf out of the e-book of Marvel&#8217;s <strong><em>Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special<\/em><\/strong>, and provides Benoit Blanc his personal festive homicide to resolve.
