Edge of Tomorrow 2: The Exciting Sequel in the Works

The Long-Awaited Sequel

Edge of Tomorrow, released in 2014, was a sci-fi action movie about an out-of-his-depth PR officer battling aliens while caught in a time loop. It received critical acclaim with a 91% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but had a tough time at the box office, grossing $370 million on a budget of $178 million. Despite this, it became a cult favorite, sparking hopes for a sequel.

The long-bubbling hopes for an Edge of Tomorrow sequel received a boost with Tom Cruise's new deal with Warner Bros. It's reported that Cruise's deal could include the development of a follow-up to the 2014 film, with WB executives eager to make the sequel with Cruise. However, Cruise's deal does not guarantee a movie for the studio, and even if he does, he would not begin work on a new project until after finishing Mission: Impossible 8.

Cruise himself is enthusiastic about developing a project that would launch a new franchise, and WB executives are reportedly keen to make the sequel a reality.
