The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that Cillian Murphy is in advanced talks to join the cast of Paramount's
A Quiet Place sequel as a man with mysterious intentions who joins the family unit, which seems like a role tailormade for the former fear-inducing
Dark Knight trilogy villain.
He joins returning stars Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, and Noah Jupe, who will all reprise their roles from the 2018 blockbuster, which grossed over $340 million on its modest $17 million production budget.
John Krasinski will once again be in the director's chair, utilizing his own script. Andrew Form, Brad Fuller, and Michael Bay are attached as producers.
Filming is slated to begin this summer with a May 15, 2020 release date in mind.
