LOS ANGELES, April 2 — After Peaky Blinders and Luc Besson’s action movie Anna, Cillian Murphy could well co-star in alien invasion survival horror A Quiet Place 2 opposite Emily Blunt and under the direction of the first movie’s co-star, John Krasinski.
Having survived 2018 horror hit A Quiet Place, Blunt, Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe look set to be joined by Murphy in a May 2020 sequel.
Murphy has been linked to the production by The Hollywood Reporter and is to play a newcomer and potential ally for the Abbott family, should negotiations conclude successfully.
Krasinski, who co-wrote and co-starred in A Quiet Place, remains in the director’s chair from one film to the next.
Filming is scheduled to begin mid-2019.
Murphy, who has appeared in Christopher Nolan movies Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Inception and Dunkirk, returns to TV for a fifth season of British interwar gangland drama Peaky Blinders, due 2019 and, should previous seasons act as a guideline, debuting towards the end of the year.
