Kenyan-Mexican actress Lupita Nyong'o is in final negotiations to star in Paramount’s "A Quiet Place: Day One".
The spinoff will be directed by Pig helmer Michael Sarnoski.
Not much more is known about the upcoming project other than it not being a threequel but rather a spinoff, based on an idea from John Krasinski, who directed and starred in the first two movies in the franchise.
The project is set to bow on March 8, 2024.
The original franchise is currently developing the third movie, with Krasinski returning to direct, which is set to bow sometime in 2025.
Michael Bay, Andrew Form, and Brad Fuller will produce via Platinum Dunes alongside Krasinski via his Sunday Night banner with partner Allyson Seeger, who serves as executive producer.
"A Quiet Place Part II", the first coronavirus-era theatrical-only release, opened to $57 million at the domestic box office in May 2021 and has earned $297 million worldwide.
Moreover, Nyong’o is reprising her role as Nakia in the long-awaited Marvel sequel "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever", which hits theaters November 11.
The project is the final movie in Phase Four of the MCU and is expected to be one of the biggest draws of the year.
