John Krasinski, the director of A Quiet Place Part II, has discussed the possibility of a third film being made.
A Quiet Place was a true surprise hit in the horror genre, leading to a much-anticipated sequel that arrives this March. But is it possible that a third film could be made?
Well, according to writer and director John Krasinski it isn’t impossible but they won’t crank films out for the sake of it. Speaking to Total Film, he said:
“I set up a couple of tiny little Easter eggs in [Part II] that not only explain more about [the original], but would allow for more mythology. But, being a Boston Catholic, I can’t be like, ‘Yeah, of course, there’ll be a third!’ No, not at all.

“I haven’t heard from the studio that they want a third one but the good news is that the studio and I are on the same page in that this isn’t one of those franchises where we keep pumping them out if they make money. I think we’ve proven that this is an original idea that is really beloved by people in a way that… I don’t want to break that promise to people.
“But if I could think of a way to continue this world as elegantly as people deserve, because they gave me their trust in watching this movie and loving this movie as much as they did? Sure. But if you’re asking: do I think I could just do a third one, to just do a third one? No way.”
So, it looks like we will have to wait and see how well Part II is received but if it goes down well, and inspiration strikes, a third film could be possible! Fortunately, the second film is only a couple of months away.
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.
