[11] [38] Evans was known mainly for his live-action role as Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), and Rian exploited the actor's everyman persona to ignite tension between moviegoers and Ransom, saying, "You've got to see it not as baggage, but as ammunition.

When we spoke to Rian Johnson regarding Knives Out and its origins within the works of Agatha Christie, he explained how her plots tend to get more attention than her characters. Still, it’s the oddballs who populate her whodunnits that inspired the mechanics of his screenplay. Without getting into spoilers, Johnson’s particular celebration of Christie’s weirdos over the actual mystery makes itself known fairly early on in the narrative.
