John Krasinski is writing another sequel to his 2018 horror hit A Quiet Place, but this time it is unknown whether his wife Emily Blunt will star in it.
The actress, 42, confessed that her husband is currently writing the script, but she doesn’t know if he will write her character, Evelyn Abbott, into the storyline.
She made the confession on The Graham Norton Show alongside Dwayne Johnson, Matthew McConaughey, James Norton and Raye – which will air on Friday night.
Emily said: ‘He is writing another Quiet Place thing now, but I don’t know if I am in it’.
During the second movie, Evelyn continues to try to find a safe haven for her children in a world stalked by creatures that hunt by sound.
She discovers that there are even more threats out there as she ventures into the unknown with daughter Regan (Millicent Simmonds), son Marcus (Noah Jupe) and her newborn baby.
Emily and John, who also directs and stars in the movies, got married in 2010 and have two daughters – Hazel, six, and Violet, three.

Before confirming a second sequel to A Quiet Place, Emily previously hinted at the possibility of Devil Wears Prada sequel, as she confirmed there are ‘rumblings’ about making a follow-up film at the Red Sea Film Festival in Saudi Arabia on Thursday.
The actress famously starred as acid-tongued assistant Emily Charlton in the 2006 hit comedy, opposite Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway.
Speculation about a sequel to the iconic film has been rife for years, reaching a fever pitch in July when it was reported that Disney had brought on screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna, who adapted the original film from the 2003 novel of the same name.
While there has yet to be an official confirmation, Emily sparked new hopes for fans as she teased something was in the works.
Speaking during an In Conversation With event, the Oscar-nominated actress opened up about the impact of original film and the role it played in the trajectory of her acting career.
When asked if there was a chance of a sequel film, according to Deadline Emily told the excited crowd: ‘There [are] rumblings. There is stuff churning around. But I don’t know if I can confirm anything. But we would all be delighted.’
The Oppenheimer star – who received a Golden Globe nod for the original film – admitted that The Devil Wears Prada catapulted her career, as it allowed people to see the range she had as an actor.
She said: ‘Playing that character, who was so insane, it paved the way for people to see me more as a character actor rather than someone who should just be in period drama… a lot of British people are just subjected to wearing a garnet or a crown at some point.’

However, Emily confessed she never could have predicted the wild and enduring success of the film, which made $326.7 million worldwide from just a $35 million budget, and which continues to be beloved by fans 18 years later.
She said: ‘I just didn’t know anything back then. I remember my agent calling me on the opening weekend and saying, “It made this’. I was like, ‘Is that good?’
‘When we were filming it, we were weeping with laughter every day. We thought we were making something funny… but I didn’t know that it would become this thing that would catch fire in the way that it did… it’s quoted to me every week now.’
The original film was adapted from Lauren Weisberger’s book, which was loosely based on her time as an assistant to Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
The story follows Andy – played by Anne – a struggling journalist who manages lands a job as a junior personal assistant to the fearsome Miranda Priestley, the editor-in-chief of Runway Magazine.
She tries to use this experience to pave the way for better journalism opportunities, but struggles to survive in the cutthroat fashion world and cope with the fiery Miranda’s impossible demands.
The Graham Norton Show airs at 10.40pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer
