It’s clear that the purpose of the ending was to position the pair of children as major players moving forward. Of course, John Krasinski’s Lee (who made a cameo in the opening flashback scene) was killed off in the first movie. The most considerable shift in A Quiet Place 2’s ending is how it sets up Regan and Marcus as the new leads of the franchise. It’s something that could be the focus of a future sequel or spinoff… How the Quiet Place 2 ending could set up Part 3 Still, A Quiet Place spent considerable time poking around at the edges of what’s going on elsewhere. It’s then implied he’s going to kill him and kidnap Regan – but he doesn’t get that far before the monsters descend and kill off the vast majority of the group. Listed only as ‘Man in the Marina’ on the credits, he lures in Emmett by using a little girl as bait. One of those is led by Scoot McNairy’s nameless man. It may have only been 18 months since the monsters arrived, but it’s clearly done a number on some – and groups have formed. While much of A Quiet Place’s short history has spent time focusing on the family running from the monsters, it’s clear that there are small clusters of humans taking advantage of the lawless society by being up to no good.Įmmett gives Evelyn a warning that the outside world beyond the settlements with beacons are no longer safe. What that’ll do for the scare factor in Part 3 is anyone’s guess, but at least the family – and an injured Emmett who only just survived – now have a new tool in their arsenal. It now serves as a serious weapon against the monsters moving forward – making them less of a threat. The broadcast tower allowed the bunker’s radio to also pick up that sound, giving Marcus the chance to shoot the monster dead. In the island’s radio station, Regan changes the currently-played song (Beyond the Sea) on the frequency to that of the debilitating feedback loop from her implants. But even the most calm and collected members the audience will have been watching the clock and wondering how Emmett and Regan would get back from the island to save Evelyn and Marcus in the bunker back on the mainland before the credits rolled.Īs it turns out, a piece of ingenuity from Regan not only helped save the day for both parties.

A Quiet Place 2 had a wonderfully breezy pace, wrapping things up in a little over 90 minutes.
