The premier of John Krasinski‘s A Quiet Place Part II hits theaters this month and Paramount Pictures has given us a glimpse of a new character from the film named Emmett, played by Cillian Murphy.

Judging by the look of the character, you can tell Emmett has seen some things in his life. His survivor mentality and willingness to live in solitude has gotten him to where he is in the film. In the featurette, Emmett meets Evelyn Abbott (Emily Blunt) and her newborn for the first time, but he refuses to help because more people equals more noise.

The beauty of Cillian’s character was that there’s so much loss in his life. He doesn’t feel the need to be a part of any community. He’s actually a representation of the rest of the world. There’s a darkness to him and there’s a fear level to him that makes him unpredictable.
