John Krasinski and team left many unanswered questions by the end of A Quiet Place, and the Quiet Place 2 trailer just gave us more questions. Now let’s take a deep dive into the mysteries of the Quiet Place 2 trailer, which took us on an adrenaline-filled, can’t-catch-your-breath, heart-beating-too-fast ride.
The Quiet Place 2 trailer makes it clear that the sequel flashes back to the day it all began. We witness it first through Evelyn (Emily Blunt), Marcus (Noah Jupe), Regan (Millicent Simmonds), and Beau (Cade Woodward )’s perspectives. We watch Evelyn casually driving with the children, while many people run and scream, but then they see the monster and Evelyn becomes a less cautious driver. The family then tries to navigate their way out of the madness while also trying to find Lee (John Krasinski).
Clearly, we know that they all manage to escape the insane ordeal, at least until day 89, but others humans aren’t so lucky and it appears Cillian Murphy’s character’s family might be among the unfortunate victims. Based on how things appear in The Quiet Place 2 trailer, it seems like we’ll learn how Cillian Murphy’s yet to be named character dealt with the monster invasion. Cillian Murphy’s character possibly had children, as we see him and Djimon Hounsou’s yet to be named character close the closet door on two children.
Cillian Murphy also tells the Abbott family that people aren’t worth saving out here. This could imply that he has a tragic backstory. Possibly, the monsters murdered his child or children because someone put them in the monsters’ sight. Or maybe he means that only people left are the ones willing to do absolutely anything to survive.
Murphy’s character also seems like he has become a loner in the present and fully embraced apocalyptic living. His backstory and the scene of Day 1, makes us believe that at least some portion of the movie takes place in the past. However, we doubt that the past makes up the majority because there still seems to be a lot of story to tell about the present situation of the Abbott family.
Where Is The Abbott Family Heading?
The trailer of The Quiet Place 2 shows many shots of the Abbotts traveling. The trailer shows them eventually finding themselves in danger of the monster killing them, but Cillian Murphy’s character saves the Abbotts, bringing him into their journey.
The trailer also shows an image of the Abbott family farm on fire. Things were chaotic at the end of A Quiet Place–with Lee dying, Regan figuring out the key to killing the monsters, and the entire family trying to protect the new baby. Therefore, the farm being on fire could be a result of the battle with the other monster. We know that based on Evelyn’s still bandaged foot, A Quiet Place 2 probably doesn’t take place too far after the first one ended. So it may be safe to assume that the barn fire is related to the confrontations with the monsters at the end of the first film. Or something took place afterward that we haven’t seen yet.
The farm catching on fire probably means that the Abbott family is on the road looking for new shelter. However, things might be a little more complex than that. In The Quiet Place 2 trailer, Murphy’s character and Evelyn discuss saving people. He doesn’t think anyone left is worth saving, which could mean that Evelyn shares the secret to defeating the monsters and wants to share It with more people. This could mean that the Abbott family hit the road to gather people to fight and defeat the creature, or at least make it to what remains of the government and try to get their help conquering the monsters.
