Back in 2018, A Quiet Place became one of the year’s surprising financial and critical successes, which has gone on to earn this year’s A Quiet Place: Part II, with star and director John Krasinski confirming that he isn’t ruling out a potential third part of the series. Despite the original film setting the stage for a vast world which had been overrun by monsters, Krasinski was initially apprehensive about delivering a follow-up film, though the continuation of the series with one sequel confirms the series has limitless potential, with its continuation likely being dependent on the sequel’s upcoming success.

“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,” Krasinski shared with Total Film [H/T GamesRadar]. “But, being a Boston Catholic, I can’t be like, ‘Yeah, of course, there’ll be a third!’ No, not at all.”

When Krasinski signed on to direct the original film, he also gave the script from Scott Beck and Bryan Woods a rewrite, while this new film was crafted solely by Krasinski. Despite the studio clearly having confidence in the filmmaker, he admits that he hasn’t had conversations about a potential third film.

“I haven’t heard from the studio that they want a third one,” Krasinski confessed. “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.”
