Will they be responsible with it, or will they not be responsible with it?” We may well find out in 2023.Ī Quiet Place Part II is in UK cinemas now. “No, I will tell you that it is… I’m really excited about the third instalment because it’s going to do something that we haven’t done before.”Īs for where A Quiet Place Part II leaves off, Krasinski tee’d up the potential story consequences of Regan’s game-changing broadcast in the final reel. “Is it going to continue the Abbotts? Who knows!” he says. Krasinski remained circumspect over whether Nichols’ film will further the story of the characters we’ve come to know and love or if it will indeed take a spin-off approach, but promised something new for the series.
