Spoiler alert —John Krasinskiis back inA Quiet Place Part II.
In a newteaser trailertimed with this weekend’sSuper Bowl, the 40-year-old actor’s character Lee Abbott is resurrected for an intense flashback sequence. At the start of the 30-second ad, Krasinski approaches a confused police officer amid a street left in disarray.
“Ronny, what do we got?” asks Abbott, to which the officer replies, “Some kind of fire. We got units headed out there now.”
The scene then quickly erupts into chaos as one of thenoise-attracted aliensintroduced in the previous film smashes into the cop car, and Abbott sprints back to his car to protect his daughter.
Krasinski’s return may come as a surprise to fans who mourned his character at the climax of the previous installment, released back in spring 2018. In the first movie — which received anOscarnomination for Best Sound Editing — his character sacrificed himself in order to help two of his kids escape one of the rabid creatures.
While it was previously announced thatThe Officestar would return to direct and write the upcoming sequel, fans were unsure whether Krasinski’s character would be incorporated into the highly anticipated follow-up.

“Well… that’s a wrap on #PartII See you on March 20th!” Krasinskiwroteon Instagram.
The actor firstteased his idea for the sequelin aninterview he did withDeadlinealong with Blunt, 36, last year.
“The idea for it is pretty simple,” Krasinski said of the sequel. “I’m writing now — I don’t have it fleshed out — but the thought that occurred to me, that really excited me about it, was that most sequels are about the return of a hero or a villain. You take this character that people loved once and you bring them back, and you have to create a new world around them.”
He continued: “We have the exact opposite setup. We have the world, and you can drop whoever you want into that world and everyone feels connected to it.”
