After stealing (and then breaking) the hearts of Stranger Things fans as doomed metal-head Eddie Munson in the Netflix show's recent fourth season, Joseph Quinn has lined up his next project.
According to Deadline (via FearHQ.com), the now highly in-demand actor is set to star in Paramount Pictures and Pig director Michael Sarnoski's A Quiet Place: Day One alongside Black Panther: Wakanda Forever actress Lupita Nyong'o, who was recently cast in the lead role.
As is so often the case, no details on Quinn's character were provided.
The movie will, presumably, take us back to the sound-sensitive alien creatures' initial arrival on Earth and decimation of the populace. We saw how this played out for the Abbot family at the start of Part II, so there's a good chance Day One will focus on an entirely new set of characters.
The Abbots are not expected to appear, but it sounds like their involvement hasn't been completely ruled out.
A direct follow-up, A Quiet Place: Part III, is also in development, with John Krasinski set to return as director. Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, Noah Jupe and Cillian Murphy are expected to reprise their roles.
Part II was the first post-pandemic theatrical-only release, and ended up taking in over $297 million at the worldwide box office. The movie also garnered rave reviews (you can check out ours here), and sits at 91% on Rotten Tomatoes.
