John Krasinski just can’t stop wondering if he’s going to direct the Quiet Place sequel. Looks like that Men in Black/21 Jump Street crossover is officially dead. Plus, voice cast details for DC’s Superman: Red Son animated adaptation, behind the scenes on Captain Marvel, and what’s to come on Arrow.
A Quiet Place 2
In a recent interview with The Playlist, John Krasinski continued to tease that he may end up directing the sequel to A Quiet Place after all.
Well, I’m currently writing the script, and it was one of those things where I didn’t think I would write or participate in the sequel, to be honest. I was so proud of the first one, and obviously, we didn’t make it a with the intention that there would be a sequel. That said, I’m a realist, and I try to see things from everybody’s point of view, and I certainly understand why a studio would want to make a second one after the movie’s success. So, here I am now writing it and we’ll see if I ended up directing it.

Star Trek: Picard
Speaking with THR, Alex Kurtzman confirmed that the series will actually be set after the events of the 2009 Star Trek film (in the Prime Timeline, of course, rather than the Kelvin alt-reality), which revealed that the Romulan Empire had been torn apart by the destruction of Romulus, consumed by a star going supernova.
According to Kurtzman, the event will have a huge impact on Picard’s life and state of mind:
Picard’s life was radically altered by the dissolution of the Romulan Empire.
A prequel comic to the 2009 movie confirmed Picard was currently ambassador to Vulcan at the time and had long been a part of attempts to unify the Vulcan and Romulan peoples alongside Spock
