When asked about the sequel, the director said that he's ready and is only waiting for a green light from Paramount.
Talking about the same, he said, ''Absolutely. I bet you will. But I don’t know — at this point, I’m just recovering from making this one. So I’m sure Paramount will come up with something very fun next.''
When asked about what he would like to see in the sequel, the director said, "something similarly off-beat", like an unexpected character in this world.
"What attracted me to this story was the uniqueness of Sam, following this dying person who isn’t even really fighting for survival.... The 'Quiet Place' universe does open itself up to any characters that you want to follow and want to explore. I’m not sure."
"I put so much into Sam and Eric. That was all the love and care that I had right now to find these characters. I would have to think of a character that I could really fall in love with and really want to be surprised by seeing the world through their eyes," Sarnoski added.
From the idea of actor-filmmaker John Krasinski, who directed and starred in the first two films of the A Quiet Place franchise, this sequel follows the story of Sam, a cancer patient, who gets trapped in New York City invaded by sound-sensitive aliens. As she tries to escape the danger along with her service cat Frodo, she meets Eric, a young English law student trying to save his life from the invaders.
The movie stars Oscar winner Lupita Nyong, Djimon Hounsou and Alex Wolff.
