• Emily Blunt admitted that she was initially hesitant to join the project as she didn't feel like she could top the first movie. However, she was on board after she heard John Krasinski's pitch of the first bus scene. She also admitted that the first take of that scene is in the movie as she was also terrified in real life by the stunt, which had the bus coming at her at 40 miles per hour.
• The youngest of the Abbott family, son Beau is played by young actor Cade Woodward in the first film. In the opening flashback scenes of this second movie, Beau is played by Cade's younger brother Dean Woodward.
• On The Big Picture Podcast, John Krasinski stated that he originally did not want to be involved in this sequel, but the producer convinced him to come over and pitch his ideas to the studio. After three weeks, they asked him to write the story, with the idea that directorial duties would be handed over to other filmmakers. Krasinski finally offered to come back as director, jokingly suggesting that he was "Jedi mind tricked into signing on to the sequel."

FAQ
- The kids would have aged about 2 years since filming the last movie but the plot takes place immediately after. Would they have to use CGI to de-age them?
- Those crashing objects sound like they're giving off the sound of an engine. Are they rocks, or ships? Piloted or not?
- The creatures don't seem to eat what they kill. They seem more like attack-dogs than anything else. Are they bio-weapons for another species of alien?
