A Quiet Place 3 serves as the third film in the trilogy and the fourth in the franchise following the 2024 release of A Quiet Place: Day One, a prequel story starring Joseph Quinn and Lupita Nyong’o. While Krasinski produced and penned the script, he passed on directorial duties on the film to Michael Sarnoski.
Plot details for the third instalment are being kept under wraps, but the franchise revolves around the Abbott Family as they struggle to survive in a post-apocalyptic Earth populated by blind aliens that hunt humans with ultra-sensitive hearing.
The upcoming film is expected to pick up where the main story left off with 2020’s A Quiet Place 2, which saw Regan discover an audio signal that could be used to incapacitate the aliens, among other developments.
O’Connell’s casting will see him continue his horror streak after the star played villains in Ryan J Coogler’s newly crowned Oscar winner Sinners, Oscars and Danny Boyle’s 28 Years Later sequel The Bone Temple.
A Quiet Place 3 will also mark a reunion for the actor and Murphy, who both starred in The Bone Temple, although the pair didn’t share any scenes.
O’Connell is also set to star as Larry Lamb, former editor of The Sun, in an upcoming biographical drama from Boyle, titled Ink.
