Brian Tyree Henryis in talks to joinEmily Blunt,Millicent SimmondsandNoah JupeinJohn Krasinski’sA Quiet Place 2, Collider has confirmed.
Cillian Murphywill co-star in the sequelas “a man with mysterious intentions who joins the family unit.” Krasinski’s character may have died in the first film, but he still came back to write and direct the film, which is keeping additional plot details under wraps. The acclaimed first film, which Krasinski co-wrote withScott BeckandBryan Woods, grossed over $340 million worldwide, making a sequel all but an inevitability.
Henry’s role is being kept under wraps, but we know there are other families surviving on their own in this post-apocalyptic world, which is inhabited by sound-sensitive creatures. Perhaps he’s playing another family man whose own loved ones weren’t as lucky as the Abbott family (well… relatively).
Brad Fuller,Andrew FormandMichael Bayare returning to produceA Quiet Place 2, which Paramount will release on June 27, 2025 – two months earlier than first reported. It’ll open against Lionsgate’s faith-based dramaI Still Believe.
Henry is the breakout star of FX’sAtlantawho is coming off an incredibly busy period that included roles in four fall films last year –Barry Jenkins' dramaIf Beale Street Could Talk,Steve McQueen’s heist movieWidows,Yann Demange’s crime dramaWhite Boy Rick, and the Oscar-winning animated movieSpider-Man: Into the Spider-verse. Henry isn’t slowing down either, as he next stars in theChild’s Playreboot,Todd Phillips' comic book movieJokerandJoe Wright’s thrillerThe Woman in the Window. He also stars alongsideMelissa McCarthyin the New Line comedySuper Intelligence, and will be seen as part of the ensemble in Legendary’s forthcoming monster movieGodzilla vs. Kong.
