The first look at the movie shows Monáe in a detective outfit, looking serious and ready to solve the case. This is sure to be a great movie, and Monáe is sure to give a great performance.

The film’s title is, as Johnson explained in a new interview, a reference to the Beatles song: “I’m always fishing for something fun that Blanc can grab onto as an overwrought metaphor that he can beat to death. This is all in plain sight from the very start. So, the idea of glass came to me, something that’s clear. I’ll be very honest. I literally got out my iPhone and searched my music library with the word ‘glass.’ When I thought about what songs could be related to glass, the first one that came to mind was "Glass Onion" by the Beatles. I love that song and it's perfect for this topic.

The film also features Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline, Kate Hudson, and Dave Bautista.

Monáe's last on-screen appearance was in the 2020 movie Antebellum. She also starred in the second season of the Amazon series Homecoming. In 2018, she released her album Dirty Computer..
