In compiling a list of the greatest sci-fi films of all time, one would be remiss not to include Edge of Tomorrow. The 2014 film has built a cult following, owing largely to the stellar performances of Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt. Fortunately, in the event of a sequel, Emily Blunt has recently expressed interest in reprising her role.
In an interview on the Happy Sad Confused podcast with Josh Horowitz before the SAG-AFTRA strike, the Oppenheimer star discussed her thoughts on an Edge of Tomorrow sequel. She excitedly revealed that she is "so ready" for the sequel, clarifying that she was never the "impediment" to the film materializing. She further disclosed that there was indeed a script for a sequel at some point in the past, stating: There was one that Doug [Liman] kind of slithered over to me. I mean, I would love to make it a reality but I just don't know when or how. And how many Mission Impossibles does he [Cruise] need. Come on! Despite taking a playful dig at her co-star, Blunt quickly showered Cruise with compliments for his performance in the film, saying: Come back to the side where you can be... you know, wasn't he brilliant [in Edge of Tomorrow]? He was amazing as the cowardly hero... I adored him. He was the best. https://youtu.be/KO2uXZWwaeQ?t=1739
Adapted from Hiroshi Sakurazaka's Japanese light novel All You Need Is Kill, Edge of Tomorrow sees Earth against an unprecedented invasion by a ruthless alien race known as the Mimics. Tom Cruise plays the role of Major William "Bill" Cage, an officer with no combat experience, who finds himself thrust into the frontlines of the battle.
