John Krasinski and wife Emily Blunt have begun giving viewers a taste of what’s to come when ‘A Quiet Place’ returns.

Following the massive success of A Quiet Place earlier this year, a sequel to the thriller is already in the works. So how far along in the process is the second movie?

“I’m writing the script now,” John Krasinski told E! News. “So if it’s any good, maybe we’ll make it.”

When asked if his wife, Emily Blunt will appear in a sequel, he said: “I don’t know, we’ll have to see,” Krasinski teased. “We’ll have to see who’s in it.”

The film followed two parents and their children as they tried to survive in a world populated by bloodthirsty aliens with hypersensitive hearing, having learned to live in complete silence.

Krasinski starred, produced and directed the post-apocalyptic drama. “This movie has changed my life in every single way, not just my career; I’ve not given my total sense to anything before, and I don’t mean that I’ve been lazy, but there was something extremely personal about this movie,” he told Deadline.

The next installment could take several directions, the married pair explained at the 2018 SCAD Savannah Film Festival. Blunt, who plays Krasinski’s wife in the film pointed out that the upcoming movie could just as well explore the characters’ past in a prequel or take a look at what happens after the events of A Quiet Place.

“In some ways, the idea of seeing who these people were before this all happened would be interesting, but I’m not quite sure because I think actually it’s now what’s the next chapter and what happens next,” she told Entertainment Weekly.

The real-life couple has two young children together, and while A Silent Place is not something Blunt would let them watch, she tells MiNDFOOD that she is very happy for them to watch her upcoming remake, Mary Poppins Returns, due for release in December. “That’s exactly the kind of film right now that I’m so proud my children will be able to see and understand very soon,” she said.
