While promoting Oppenheimer, Emily Blunt was a guest on the Happy Sad Confused podcast and touched on a number of topics, including whether fans of the 2020 post-apocalyptic horror film from Paramount Pictures, A Quiet Place Part II, would ever receive a sequel.

It seems Blunt, director John Krasinski (who is Blunt's husband), and Blunt's co-star Cillian Murphy were discussing that very subject, shortly before the question was asked.

"Well, Cillian [Murphy] and I were having a chat with John [Krasinski] about it last night. We were sitting on a rooftop all together drinking wine and… (pretends to act drunk), ‘You know what would be great? Is if we keep this thing going…’ I think there’s… it would have to be that we would all do it together."

Blunt went on to add, "I don’t want it to be with a different director if we did it again."

A spinoff prequel film titled A Quiet Place: Day One, starring Lupita Nyong'o (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever) is currently set to be released on March 8, 2024. Krasinski did not direct that film, as he handed off the reigns to Michael Sarnoski (Pig). However, Krasinski is receiving a story credit for the film.

Previously, Blunt told Collider back in 2021 that Krasinski had a bunch of ideas for a third entry ready to be developed.

"He has a whole arc of ideas that could work. I think he just wanted to see how people responded to this one before he fully engaged his brain on the third one. But he has a couple of great ideas."

Given the massive box office haul of the sequel, it stands to reason that Paramount would definitely be receptive to the idea of making a third film. A Quiet Place Part II grossed $297.4 million worldwide with a modest production budget of $61 million.

A Quiet Place Part II Synopsis: 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.
