One of the biggest cheerleaders for a second “Edge of Tomorrow” movie is the first film’s director, Doug Liman. In 2021, he told Collider that production hinged on Tom Cruise and his co-star Emily Blunt. “It’s one of these things where if Tom, Emily and I were to say, ‘we’re ready to pull the trigger on this script,’ it’s Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt, the film gets made,” he said.
As recently as August of 2023, Blunt expressed her desire to return. During a brief discussion regarding her “Edge of Tomorrow” role with “Happy Sad Confused” host Josh Horowitz, she shared that she read a script for a sequel project and is interested in its realization. “I would love to make it a reality,” she says. “But I just don’t know when or how. And how many Mission Impossibles does he need?”
It seems, then, that the ball is in Cruise’s court. Of course, now that the actor is working with Warner Bros. on what will surely be multiple big-budget projects, the possibility that he might choose to prioritize a new “Edge of Tomorrow” movie is far more likely than ever before.
