The Office alum will make a brief appearance in A Quiet Place 2 (which is officially entitled A Quiet Place Part II), featuring in just one retrospective scene showing how the monsters have taken over. As the trailer reveals, John's scene involves a quick trip downtown that turns woefully wrong in seconds. 

Leaving his daughter, Regan (Millicent Simmonds) in the car, the then-father-of-two initiates a brief conversation with a policeman standing nearby — only for the first monster to materialize seemingly out of nowhere and roll over the police van. 

"It was really important for me to continue the metaphor and we actually start dealing with how it all started, and there's a scene in the movie where you see how it all started," John said, describing the scene during a February 2020 appearance on The Ellen Show. 

In addition to playing a minor role, John will also resume his position as the director of the movie. Likewise, his wife Emily Blunt will return as the female lead, Evelyn Abbott. 

"Evelyn is now a single parent, newborn baby, the barn has burnt down, the house is destroyed, she is out there on her own, and she has to protect these children," Emily explained in a promotional video. 

As the star revealed, A Quiet Place Part II will focus on Evelyn's battle to save her children from the bloodthirsty monsters. Picking up where A Quiet Place left off, the new movie explores how the inhabitants of a small town respond to the constant threat of a screech-induced homicide. 

The premise of the movie remains the same, but the cast has undergone some sweeping changes. Cillian Murphy appears in the role of Emmett, a rebellious 30-something who becomes Evelyn's most reliable source of help and No. 1 supporter. Lauren-Ashley Cristiano plays Emmett's wife, while Zachary Golinger is cast as their son.
