InA Quiet Place: Day One, Quinn will share screen space with prominent star and Oscar winnerLupita Nyong’o. The film which is set to release in the summer of 2024, will be theHoward’s Endstar’s next big role after his pivotal presence inStranger Things.
According to inside sources quoted byDeadline, Quinn completely knocked it out of the park with his intensity during the early filming stages of the prequel, which then prompted Paramount Pictures to go one step further and entrust him with an even bigger responsibility by casting him inGladiator 2.

Joseph Quinn’s Take OnA Quiet Place: Day One
The first look of the apocalyptic horror flickA Quiet Place: Day Oneis out and is already getting viewers excited for what’s in store. Joseph Quinn who co-stars with Lupita Nyong’o in the film, showed signs of why Paramount Pictures favored him for the role and subsequently forGladiator 2
While the actor agreed that the supernatural and horror element was similar to the narrative ofStranger Things, he believed that this film’s aesthetic was different even from its original source material created by John Krasinski. Speaking toEW, Quinn said,
“It’s more of a [character] drama than anything. The script is obviously set in the world that we know, but it’s very much a film about these two characters who are lost and trying to negotiate their fates. There are also some wonderful other characters in the film who Sam encounters, but the bulk of it is Eric and Sam in their mutual acceptance of this bleak, more quiet, new reality.”
With an eclectic cast that also includes franchise veteran Djimon Hounsou returning to reprise his role, A Quiet Place: Day Onelooks to be another winner for Joseph Quinn.
A Quiet Place: Day Onewill release worldwide on June 28th, 2024.
A Quiet Place1 and 2 can be streamed on Paramount+
