That day, Millicent also stopped by People Now and talked about how director John Krasinski convinced her to sign on for the second film.

“He called me. After a few months, when we finished A Quiet Place, after it came out, he called me… We felt like, ‘How could you follow up this movie, it was so perfect, why would you have a sequel?’” she said.

“But John called, and it was about a 45 minute conversation, and he said, “Milli, just tell me what you think about this,’” Millicent continued. “And when I heard that it was much more action oriented and so emotionally intense, of course I had to do it.”
