‘A Quiet Place 2’ Cast Explained
- Emily Blunt as Evelyn Abbott
- Cillian Murphy as Emmett. Murphy described his character Emmett, “For me, Emmett represents where the heart of the world lies right now, which is: finally feeling like they’ve all given up. Here comes this girl [Regan] who allows you to believe in more, and allows you to believe in yourself. That idea, I’ve always been really enthralled by.”
- Millicent Simmonds as Regan Abbott, Lee and Evelyn’s deaf daughter and Marcus’s sister. Simmonds described her character’s evolution after the first film, “She has a lot of pressure to become an adult very quickly.” She has more of a leading role in the sequel, and according to Syfy Wire, “Deafness and ASL are inherently linked to the heroism of its heroine”. Simmonds worked with an ASL coach to make sure her signing and articulation were clean. She said she felt “a sense of pressure” being in a position to represent the deaf and hard of hearing.
- Noah Jupe as Marcus Abbott, Lee and Evelyn’s son and Regan’s brother
- Djimon Hounsou
- John Krasinski as Lee Abbott, Evelyn’s deceased husband and Regan and Marcus’s father. He appears in a few newly-filmed flashback sequences. Krasinski said he wrote himself into the sequel because the first film “was such a personal experience” and his “love letter” to his children. He said, “It was really important for me to continue the metaphor and we actually start dealing with how this all started.”
