On the edge of tomorrow It became, without a doubt, one of the favorite films of science fiction fans. It had a fairly positive reception from critics and also triumphed at the box office. The above made us think that, perhaps, at some point there would be a sequel. Well then, at Warner Bros. they are working to convince Tom Cruise to make a second part a reality.
This important effort comes because, this week, Warner Bros. announced an agreement with Tom Cruise to produce multiple feature films. It is important to mention, however, that it will not be an exclusive collaboration, since the actor will have the opportunity to continue working with other companies. Today we learned that top gun 3 is already underway with Paramount.
Considering, then, that the film rights of On the edge of tomorrow belong to Warner, it was logical to think that they would seek to take advantage of the new rapprochement with Tom Cruise.
According The Hollywood Reporter, the sequel to On the edge of tomorrow has always been on Warner’s table. In fact, before Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy took over the management of the company, there was already a project underway. However, Tom Cruise was not involved in it.
But that scenario could change soon, since the actor has a contractual commitment to Warner. At the moment, it seems that all parties are interested in undertaking it.
Edge of Tomorrow 2 it will take a long time to wait
Now, there is a “small” drawback. Because Tom Cruise does not have an exclusive collaboration agreement with Warner Bros., it means that both parties will have to sit down and plan a project that fits the actor’s schedule.
Cruise is clear that, before getting involved in Edge of Tomorrow 2It has to end Mission Impossible 8whose premiere is scheduled for May 25, 2025. A curious point is that this film should have been released in June of this year, but the strikes of actors and screenwriters—both already completed—caused changes to the calendar.
Thus, there is an increasing probability of seeing Edge of Tomorrow 2but we will have to wait several years for it. From that to nothing…
On the edge of tomorrow, starring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt, was one of the best films of 2014. On Rotten Tomatoes it has a recommendation percentage of 91% from specialized critics, and 90% from public opinion. There are very few films that can boast such a high rating and, above all, such an equal consensus between the press and the audience.
It grossed $370 million at the international box office.an acceptable figure if we take into account that it cost 178 million dollars.
There has been much talk that a sequel to On the edge of tomorrow would have to face a challenge in the narrative field, since the first was inspired by the novel All You Need Is Killby Hiroshi Sakurazaka. However, the feature film covers all the events of the literary work, so a sequel will have to propose a completely original story.
