What was Derol doing? Glass Onion 

Derol is, on one level at least, a joke. Miles waxes poetically on the luxuriant exclusivity his wealth has given him, but then Derol appears. Derol appears in a few scenes to sabotage Miles’ self-importance and to have a chat with Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig).

Johnson, who uses Knives out Its sequel, which satirizes the absurdities of America’s one percent, may even have Derol in mind as another lampoon for this extravagant lifestyle: the happy go lucky hanger-on.

The Evil Dead). It’s a winsome loyalty that is fun outside of the films.
