""I'd love to do a musical someday. I think that would be really fun," Johnson revealed to The Hollywood Reporter's Podcast. "Can we talk about the Muppets really quick? I'm not doing a Muppet. This is not the announcement.""
""On the internet, the notion of a Knives Out Muppet movie comes up a lot. I wanted to get you guys together here so that I could explain why that's a bad idea," he laughed. "'It's not a bad idea, but... I love and respect Muppet movies too much. The reality is, if you put Muppets in a Benoit Blanc movie, it would feel totally wrong because they would be getting murdered. The alternative is to just stick Benoit Blanc into a Muppet movie, which admittedly would be very fun, but... would kind of break the reality of what Blanc is.'""
""Listen [Johnson] I may be three margaritas in but my neighbors and I want to know if the next Knives Out can be all Muppets except for Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc.""
Rian Johnson expressed interest in directing a musical but declined to make a Knives Out crossover with The Muppets. He stated strong respect for Muppet films and argued that placing Muppets in a Benoit Blanc murder mystery would feel wrong because the Muppets would be victims. He added that placing Benoit Blanc into an existing Muppet movie would undermine the established reality of Blanc's character. Fans frequently suggested a Muppets crossover online, creating jokes and mock posters, but Johnson maintained the crossover would be inappropriate while remaining open to musical projects generally.
