As she prepares to make her return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong’o appears to be poised to make her debut in another popular film franchise: A Quiet Place.
According to what was reported by Deadline, it seems that the actress is in the final stages of the negotiation that will lead her to star in the next chapter of the saga, currently titled A Quiet Place: Day One. The spinoff will be directed and written by Pig director Michael Sarnoski.
Not much more is known about this project, except that it will be in all respects a spin-off, with new characters and new situations always set in the world invaded by the monstrous aliens already seen in A Quiet Place and A Quiet Place 2 Furthermore, as the title suggests, the story of the film will probably take place during the first day of the invasion, already briefly shown in the second of the two films made to date.
The hope, therefore, seems that this new film will consolidate the narrative universe of A Quiet Place, establishing the best for further future chapters. Regarding Nyong'o, however, it has not been revealed more about the role she will play, but further details will certainly be provided with the start of filming scheduled for the first months of 2023.
However, it is known that, although it is not already all out of the question, John Krasinski and Emily Blunt, the protagonists of the first films, will probably not reprise their roles in this new chapter, expected in theaters on March 8, 2024. However, the two actors will return respectively as the director and protagonist of the third film of the main trilogy, whose theatrical release is scheduled for 2025.
