Lupita Nyong’o on Cementing Her Scream Queen Status with ‘A Quiet Place: Day One’ and the Advice She Gave Joseph Quinn About Joining the MCU


"A Quiet Place: Day One" stars Lupita Nyong'o and Joseph Quinn and is the prequel to John Krasinski's "A Quiet Place" and "A Quiet Place Part II."

Following Lupita Nyong’o’s role as a tethered clone with a shaky voice in Jordan Peele’s 2018 film “Us,” the Academy Award-winning actor now gets completely silent for “A Quiet Place Day One,” set in a world where if you make noise, you’ll suffer a brutal death by aliens. “This genre helps us exercise emotions that we are otherwise running away from a lot of the time, we don’t get permission to be openly scared in our real life,” Nyong’o told Variety at the film’s premiere in New York City on Wednesday night. John Krasinski, Michael Sarnoski, Djimon Hounsou, Lupita Nyong’o, Joseph Quinn and Alex Wolff attend the New York premiere of “A Quiet Place: Day One” in partnership with Tribeca Festival at AMC Lincoln Square on June 26.
