Shhhh.
John Krasinski is returning as the director, writer and producer of “A Quiet Place Part III.”
The cast is not confirmed at this time, so it’s unclear if Emily Blunt, Noah Jupe and Millicent Simmonds, who co-starred with Krasinski in the first film, will return. If you don’t know what happens to Krasinski’s character, we won’t spoil it, but don’t expect a family reunion.
Plot details of the sequel are being kept under wraps, but we’re going out on a limb to guess that they involve alien creatures with very sharp hearing, and human beings who have to evade them on tiptoe while using their inside voices.
Paramount Pictures will release “A Quiet Place Part III” in theaters on July 9, 2027. Krasinski and Allyson Seeger’s Sunday Night Productions, which has a first-look deal with the studio, is producing along with Platinum Dunes.
Krasinski directed the first two films in the “Quiet Place” franchise, with Michael Sarnoski directing the 2024 spin-off “A Quiet Place: Day One.” The series has grossed over $900 million. Krasinski also directed the family comedy “IF” for Paramount, but the film was a box office disappointment.
The actor got his start on the NBC sitcom “The Office.” He also starred in the Amazon Prime series “Jack Ryan” and appeared in such films as “It’s Complicated,” “Promised Land” and “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi.” He most recently starred opposite Natalie Portman in “Fountain of Youth” for Apple Original Films.

Krasinski announced his involvement on the third “Quiet Place” film on Instagram. The news comes as Paramount Global, the studio’s parent company, is finalizing its sale to Skydance — a deal that is expected to close next week.
