It ’s never a unfit time to be a fan ofLupita Nyong’o — an actor so mighty she won an Oscar for her feature of speech debut in 2013 ’s 12 Years a Slave , and went on to appear in the Star Wars sequels andMarvel ’s Black Panther films . But rooter of Nyong’o ’s horror work are getting a special dainty today , since she ’s just been named the star of A Quiet Place : Day One .
We ’ve assure Nyong’o fight zombies ( inLittle Children ) and , well , a creepy rendering of herself ( inJordan Peele ’s Us — in a dual role that realllly should ’ve take in her at least an Oscar nominating speech , if not her second statuette ) , but we ’re especially aroused to see what this expressive performer can do in a world where people have to stay on as mum as potential . Deadlinebroke the news that she ’s in final negotiations to star , and remind us that A Quiet Place : Day One is a spinoff ofJohn Krasinski ’s blockbuster sci - fi series — not the third installment in the principal serial , though that movie is also in the works — and will be address by Michael Sarnoski ( who made the startlingly good 2021 Nicolas Cage movie Pig ) , based on a Krasinski idea . Plot particular are unsung , but that title strongly suggests it ’ll be rig on the daytime those poisonous , hearing - tender aliens make it on Earth .
A Quiet Place : Day One is due out March 8 , 2024 . Imminent Marvel smash rack up Black Panther : Wakanda Forever , featuring Nyong’o as Nakia , is out November 11 .
