John Krasinski, the writer and director of A Quiet Place Part II, says he has already thought about plans for a third film.
While fans will be saddened at the news that the highly anticipated A Quiet Place Part II has been delayed, they can take comfort in knowing the franchise’s future looks strong.
Writer and director of the first two films, John Krasinski, has revealed to Collider that he has already started thinking about what could happen in a third film, despite his initial aversion to making a sequel at all:
“It’s interesting, I genuinely hadn’t thought about a second one when I was doing the first one. However, I really had these questions while I was doing it. I put the fires out in the distance in the first one, and I always thought to myself, ‘Wouldn’t it be cool if we got to explore where those fires lead to? Who’s on the other end of those fires?’ But I never thought that there would be a sequel. So then when I actually came around to writing the sequel, I started with the fires. And so this time, I think when my brain started wandering of questions of what would this mean later on, I started to write down notes in case I could prepare myself for a third one.”

Of course, the reception of A Quiet Place Part II will be key and with its delay now in place, we will have to wait a little longer to know the franchise’s future. But this is certainly good news for fans of the first movie.
Following the deadly events at home, the Abbott family (Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, Noah Jupe) must now face the terrors of the outside world as they continue their fight for survival in silence. Forced to venture into the unknown, they quickly realize that the creatures that hunt by sound are not the only threats that lurk beyond the sand path.
A Quiet Place Part II is set for release on March 20th and features returning cast members Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, Noah Jupe and John Krasinski alongside Cillian Murphy (Peaky Blinders) and Djimon Hounsou (Captain Marvel).
