The teaser image shows Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, and Noah Jupe as Evelyn and her three kids. Krasinski, whose character died at the end of the first film, and who is also the filmmaker, told the magazine that the sequel will see Blunt's character struggle with the concept of thriving versus surviving. He added that he liked the first part more in which Emily and he were all about surviving versus the thriving. Emily wanted to thrive and give her kids a normal life and Krasinski opposed it.
