So what's the status on this? Is Johnson still involved?

How well did Knives Out do? That would be a god indicator if Disney is planning to move forward with Rian Johnson or not.

Pretty well, I'd say - $306 million box office vs $40 budget; Oscar nomination for best original screenplay; 97% critic, 92% audience at Rotten Tomato; sequel has been greenlit.

I saw it. The audience was very well entertained. Knives Out bodes well for Johnson wherever he goes from here.
Not relevant ... but I have a tough time distinguishing Christopher Plummer from Max von Sydow.
