A Quiet Place 2: 7 Big News Revelations About The Upcoming Sequel
3. It's Rooted In The "World" Of The First Film
Above all else, even with the Abbott family returning, Krasinski's sequel promises to be a film thoroughly rooted in the world of the first film. As Krasinski said;
"I had this very small idea, and what it was is that this is a world you can play in, this isn’t just a character to remake or a group of characters or a story. It’s actually a world, which is a whole different, very unique experience. It’s something we feel very lucky to have. It’s not like Alien or Jaws where the main villain is the thing you’re repeating; it’s an actual entire set of rules and the circumstance that the world has undergone that you can play in very different facets."
In other words, don't be surprised if A Quiet Place Part II focuses on the other families alluded to in the first film or if the monsters themselves become less of a focal point. As evident from his name-dropping of franchises like Jaws or Alien, Krasinski is clearly trying to craft something different for the sequel and avoid simply retreading the same ground.
