Following its brief theatrical release last month, the Netflix film officially released to the streamer on Friday, Dec. 23, and fans wasted no time pressing play. The sequel to the hit Knives Out, Glass Onion follows Detective Benoit Blanc (Craig) as he travels to Greece to peel back the layers of a mystery involving a new cast of technology-pioneering suspects. But it’s not the all-star cast or Rian Johnson’s new whodunit mystery that has fans talking–it’s the cameo made by none other than the Love Actually star, Grant. Spoiler alert! In the film, Grant and Craig are living together as lovers–a detail that audiences can’t help but celebrate and, in some cases, demand more of. “watching daniel craig and hugh grant play domestic partners in a film was not on my this year’s bingo card but i’ll happily take it #knivesout,” one Twitter user wrote alongside a series of screenshots of the actors on-screen. A different fan described her reaction to the discovery of Detective Blanc’s boyfriend, who remained anonymous for most of the film, writing, “The way I screamed when Hugh Grant opened that door.” “now i need a romcom of hugh grant and daniel craig falling in love (and solving a murder together),” another quipped. Someone else joked, “Glass Onion spoilers // Hugh grant and daniel craig being on screen lovers is the realest thing rian Johnson has ever done.” But the mere fact that a director had previously confirmed Detective Blanc’s sexuality combined with Grant’s cameo weren’t enough for some fans who wanted to see more of the romance between the two characters, hoping it makes the cut for the franchise’s third installment. “How dare GLASS ONION tease us with Hugh Grant as Daniel Craig’s husband and not give them any scenes in a bath together,” Playbill Editor-in-Chief Diep Tran joked. Another disappointed tweet read: “The real Knives Out Mystery was WHY IS THERE NO SCENE BETWEEN HUGH GRANT AND DANIEL CRAIG IF THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOMESTIC GAY PARTNERS. WHY AND WHERE IS IT #GlassOnionAKnivesOutMystery.” The outcry from fans didn’t stop there, continue reading for a few more of the Internet’s most popular reactions.
