She had an impressively lighthearted reply after filming that difficult scene, which shows how talented she is at switching between serious drama and funny moments. That’s why there’s no doubt she’s perfect for the job in the next Edge of Tomorrow movie, too.

The emotionally draining performance of Emily Blunt in A Quiet Place has been praised for its raw emotion and intensity. In this scene, Blunt’s character, Evelyn, is giving birth in a bathtub, but it’s not just any birth scene.

She’s silently screaming in pain, trying not to make a sound as her husband is away. This is because monsters that hunt by sound are lurking nearby. The tension is palpable, and to make it even more impressive, the 41-year-old nailed this intense scene in just one take!

As soon as the camera stopped rolling, the English actress snapped out of character and casually asked the crew (via IMDb), “What’s everyone having for lunch?” It’s a bit of a shocker, seeing how she can switch from intense drama to chatting about lunch in an instant.

For instance, in Edge of Tomorrow, Blunt shines as Rita, a fearless warrior unafraid of battling the mimics. She’s not just tough. She’s also quick with clever one-liners. The movie balances action perfectly, and the star handles it all effortlessly.

Everyone agrees that the Hollywood beauty is an amazing actress! She can play any role—funny, serious, or full of action. That’s why fans are eagerly hoping for a sequel to Edge of Tomorrow with her in the lead role once more.

It is unconfirmed whether there will be a second part to Edge of Tomorrow. However, Emily Blunt has expressed her willingness to reprise her role as Sergeant Rita Vrataski in the sequel.

The star of the sci-fi hit spoke about a possible sequel in a chat with Variety on its Awards Circuit Podcast. Blunt said she and director Doug Liman are interested and believes her co-star Tom Cruise is too. Check out her quote below:

Doug (Liman) and I talk all the time about it. I know Tom wants to do it, hopefully, at some point. But it’s timing, but it’s also been ten years since we made it.

However, there’s hope. Cruise’s new deal with Warner Bros. could finally make Edge of Tomorrow 2 happen. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the ageless icon will be working on both creating new movies and starring in existing franchises for the studio. The upcoming films will be a mix of original ideas and sequels to popular series.
