Krasinski plays patriarch Lee Abbott, husband of Evelyn (Krasinski’s real-life wife Emily Blunt) and father of Marcus ( Noah Jupe), Beau ( Cade Woodward) and hearing-impaired Regan ( Millicent Simmonds).

Set in 2020, the horror-thriller follows a family that is forced into hiding after the Earth’s population has been wiped out by giant sightless creatures with an acute sense of hearing.
