Eddie Munson could be useless on Stranger Things, however the actor who performed him is simply getting began. Fresh off his newfound fame for enjoying the rock star nerd, Joseph Quinn has booked a task within the upcoming horror spinoff A Quiet Place: Day One, alongside Oscar winner and Black Panther star Lupita Nyong’o.

Directed by Pig’s Michael Sarnoski, A Quiet Place: Day One is presently scheduled for launch March 8, 2024. Though it’s been referred to it as a “spinoff,” based mostly on the title, we’re pretty assured in assuming it takes place earlier than the occasions of the 2 Quiet Place movies which starred Emily Blunt and John Krasinski, the latter of whom directed each. That pair is unlikely to look within the prequel however Krasinski is quietly—pun meant—engaged on the third movie with these characters to come back out in 2025, which he’ll direct.

Deadline, which broke the information, doesn’t have any plot particulars on both, however A Quiet Place: Part II did dramatize the primary day aliens who’re hyper-sensitive to sound arrived on Earth. If that’s something to go by, anticipate lots of people residing their lives, solely to be brutally killed earlier than they determine that silence is the important thing to survival on this universe.

And “universe” is the key phrase right here. While there’s no phrase on who Quinn shall be enjoying, Paramount is starting to construct A Quiet Place right into a full-on franchise. So you’d think about that if a personality survives one film, possibly they may pop up in different motion pictures down the street. Which is a wild assertion while you look again at 2018 when nobody might have imagined a horror film directed by Jim from The Office could be something however forgettable. Just goes to indicate what a robust thought, good script, and nice actors can do.
