The trailer for the sequel gives a glimpse at an intense driving scene and stunt that Blunt got in one take without any rehearsal.

\"I said, 'you know, you're going to hit this pedestrian and this car is going to cut you off then a bus is going to come at you at 40 miles an hour,' and I saw her face fall and thought, 'I think I just put my marriage on the line,'\" he recalled. \"Luckily she did it and she is the most amazing partner and collaborator I've ever had.\"

\"I would love to do any project with her if she'll have me. We'll see if she allows me to direct her again, but I would love it,\" he continued. \"After that scene she's like, nah, we'll take a break from putting me in cars and having buses come at me.\"

Krasinski said his wife is \"without a doubt, in my opinion, the best actress working right now.\"

\"More than that she's the smartest with script notes. She's the smartest with direction ideas and more importantly she is the cast and crew's favorite person on set,\" he added. \"So she's a gift to have on set.\"

On top of his success with the budding film franchise, Krasinski said a different dream for his career has nearly come true -- hosting \"Saturday Night Live.\"

\"I'm having an existential conversation with my 8-year-old self every day,\" he said. \"I was 8 years old when I found an old black and white TV in my parents' basement, snuck it under my bed and was watching basically every 'SNL' from [ages] 8 to 18 and I only told my mom this weekend at the premiere.\"

\"I used to set my alarm at 11:30 and watch from 11:30 and 1,\" he revealed. \"So to say it's a dream come true is an understatement.\"

\"A Quiet Place Part 2\" is in theaters nationwide on March 20.
