A Quiet Place Movie Cast & Characters:
- Emily Blunt as Evelyn Abbott, wife of Lee, and the mother to their four children, Regan, Marcus, Beau, and baby Abbott. Krasinski said her character wanted to ensure that their children “be fully-formed, fully-thinking people.”
- John Krasinski as Lee Abbott, an engineer who is Evelyn’s husband and the father of Regan, Marcus, Beau, and newborn baby Abbott. Krasinski described his character as a survivalist focused on getting his family through each day.
- Krasinski also provided the motion-capture for the extraterrestrial creatures.
- Noah Jupe as Marcus Abbott, the second child and eldest son of Lee and Evelyn, and Regan’s and Beau’s brother. Krasinski noticed Jupe in the 2016 miniseries The Night Manager and watched an early screening of the 2017 film Suburbicon to evaluate Jupe’s performance.
- Millicent Simmonds as Regan Abbott, Lee and Evelyn’s teenage deaf daughter, and Marcus’ and Beau’s older sister. Krasinski said he sought a deaf actress “…for many reasons; I didn’t want a non-deaf actress pretending to be deaf … a deaf actress would help my knowledge and my understanding of the situations tenfold. I wanted someone who lives it and who could teach me about it on set.”
- Cade Woodward as Beau Abbott, Lee and Evelyn’s four-year-old son.
- Leon Russom as a man in the woods.

About A Quiet Place Movie:
A Quiet Place is an American post-apocalyptic horror film directed by John Krasinski and written by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods and Krasinski, from a story conceived by Woods and Beck. It stars Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, Millicent Simmonds, and Noah Jupe.
Beck and Woods developed the concept for the story while in college and began writing the screenplay in January 2016. They told Platinum Dunes producers that they wanted Blunt for the role of the mother. In July 2016, Krasinski read their script for the role of the father. He spoke with Blunt about his ideas for the story, and she suggested he direct the film. Blunt initially did not take the role, but later felt connected to the story after reading the script. The two collaborated on ideas for the film during pre-production. Krasinski was announced as director, co-writer, and co-star with Blunt in March 2017.
Filming took place in upstate New York from May to November 2017. The film was shot in 36 days.
A Quiet Place premiered at South by Southwest on March 9, 2018, and was released in the United States on April 6, 2018, by Paramount Pictures. It grossed more than $340 million worldwide and received critical acclaim. The film was chosen by the National Board of Review and American Film Institute as one of the top ten films of 2018.
It was nominated for several awards, including the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score, Academy Award for Best Sound Editing, Writers Guild of America Award for Best Original Screenplay, and Blunt won the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role.
A sequel, A Quiet Place Part II, premiered in New York City on March 8, 2020, and was released in the United States on May 28, 2021, with Krasinski returning as director and the main cast also returning with the addition of Cillian Murphy and Djimon Hounsou.
