A sequel to Tom Cruise’s 2014 high-octane sci-fi action movie 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Edge of Tomorrow may still 🤡be a pဣossibility, according to its director.

"I do think there’s probably no better compliment to a movie than people wanting for there to be a sequel," Doug Liman tells while promoting 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:his upcoming action come⛦dy The Instigators. "澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Road House – there’s call for a sequel. Edge ꩲof Tomorrow, there’s no better co🍷mpliment than Warner Bros. constantly bringing up, 'Will you go and make another one of these?'"

Audiences have long hoped for a sequel to the sci-fi hit. The original film follows Major William Cage (Cruis🌊e) as he teams up with a warrior (Emily Blunt) to save the planet when alien forces launch an attack on Earth ▨and threaten to wipe out the human race. 

Edge of Tomorrow not only stood out as a mega sci-fi blockbuster but showed Cruise unlike we have ever seen before – something Liman says he was initially concerned by. "I didn’t know if he was going to quit the movie when I proposed to him: what if we made his character a coward? It’s totally against the brand of Tom Cruise," he adds to Total Film in our new issue, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:featuring Deadpoꦆol & Wolverine on the cover. ꦰThankfully Cruise w♏as all in and the movie went on to be a big box office hit.

However, if a sequel goes ahead, it sounds as though the director might take a different direction as his filmmaking style has definitely changed over the years. Liman continues: "Tom and I recently rewatched The Edge Of Tomorrow t📖ogether… I had not watched it since it came out. And I have a very short attention span and memory. I wasn’t able to watch it entirely as a viewer, but I was definitely also not the filmmaker anymore."

Next up for Liman is The Instigators, an action comedy starring Matt Damon and Casey Affleck. That movie is on for a limited theatrical release in the US starting on August 2 before hitting Apple TV Plus and select UK cinemas on August 9. And you can read more about it and a whole lot else besides in the new𒈔 issue of Total Film when it hits shelves and digital newsstands on Thursday, June 20.
