The Future of A Quiet Place 3: Cillian Murphy & Emily Blunt Return with Two Surprising Conditions

Summary

Emily Blunt revealed during a podcast interview that she's open to starring in a potential sequel to "A Quiet Place Part II" with Cillian Murphy.

Blunt stated that she would only consider returning to the sequel if her husband and co-star John Krasinski also directed it. The three, Blunt, Murphy, and Krasinski, engaged in a discussion about the possibility of continuing the story together.

Emily Blunt has stated her main condition for starring in A Quiet Place 3 alongside Cillian Murphy. The actress, who portrayed Evelyn Abbott in the original horror film directed by her husband, John Krasinski, discussed the possibility of a third installment during an episode of the Happy Sad Confused podcast. Blunt emphasized that for her to participate, it would require the involvement of all three individuals: herself, Krasinski, and Murphy. She specifically expressed her desire for Krasinski to direct the project, as she doesn't want it to be helmed by a different director.

Could A Quiet Place 3 Happen?

: Last night, Cillian Murphy, John Krasinski, and I had an interesting conversation. We sat on a rooftop, enjoying a glass of wine together when the idea struck us. "You know what would be amazing? If we continued this project..." If we were to take on such a venture, it would have to be a joint effort, involving all of us. I wouldn't want to work with a different director if we decided to pursue it again.

Blunt's conditions for A Quiet Place 3 are quite reasonable. Both films in the franchise, directed by Krasinski, were successful at the box office. The first movie earned $340.9 million worldwide, and despite being released during a pandemic, the second film made 297.3 million in mid-2021. With these achievements, it is understandable that the studio would grant Krasinski the opportunity to direct the next installment if he desires.

The schedules of the trio pose the biggest challenge in bringing the movie together. Cillian Murphy, the lead in Oppenheimer, may have limited availability in the upcoming months due to the expected end of the SAG-AFTRA strike and a potential Oscar nomination for his role in a highly acclaimed biopic. Additionally, both Blunt and Krasinski are highly sought-after in Hollywood and are already working together on Krasinski's directorial feature, Imaginary Friends, set to release in 2024.

Given the rising success and demands of all three stars, it is likely that A Quiet Place 3 will experience significant delays. However, the franchise will continue with the prequel, A Quiet Place: Day One, scheduled for release on March 8, 2024. This may provide a window of opportunity for the trio to juggle their schedules and proceed with the production of the third installment in a timely manner after the prequel's release.
