During her appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast with host Josh Horowitz, the actress couldn’t help but drop a subtle hint about the highly-anticipated sequel. Thus she’s crossing her fingers and hoping that everything works out perfectly, and so are the fans, so that she can finally reunite with her old buddies and collaborate on this fun project together.
Emily Blunt Is Hoping Tom Cruise Will Break Free From His MI Bubble for a While
No doubt, whenever Tom Cruise‘s Mission Impossible movies hit the screen, it’s like one big festival! With each installment, the stunt master adds a new skill to his repertoire, and the challenges just keep getting crazier for the next one. While the saga seems endless, Emily Blunt is secretly wishing he could redirect his focus to something they did together back in the day.
During her appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast with Josh Horowitz, Emily Blunt discussed a range of topics, including the film Edge of Tomorrow and its potential sequel. In the interview, she made it clear that she is not one of those obstructing the process of the much-anticipated sequel for the fans who are hoping to see them together once again. She stated,
“I wish there could be [a sequel],–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.”
In a lighthearted manner, Blunt teased Cruise, urging him to return to the side where he can portray a cowardly hero as brilliantly as he did before. Having already read the script, she emphasized that the ball is now in Tom Cruise’s court, leaving both the actress and the fans eagerly awaiting his decision.
Emily Blunt Nearly Killed Tom Cruise in Edge of Tomorrow
In the mind-bending world of Edge of Tomorrow, Tom Cruise plays a public relations officer stuck in a time loop during an alien invasion that has defeated Europe. With each repeating experience, he strives to outsmart the relentless attackers, with Emily Blunt’s character guiding him to become an unstoppable force on the battlefield.
Although Edge of Tomorrow didn’t feature the same jaw-dropping stunts as the MI franchise, it still had its fair share of intense moments for the action hero Tom Cruise. According to the Daily Mail, during the filming of a challenging driving scene, The Devil Wears Prada actress suggested increasing the speed to make it work, and despite Cruise’s reservations, he decided to take the risk and go with it. Blunt stated,
“I tear down this part and Tom’s being very quiet behind me I hear him under his breath as I approach the right-hand turn, going ‘Brake, brake, brake. Brake. Brake, brake, brake… Oh God. Brake, brake, brake. Brake it hard! Brake hard!’–I left it too late, and so drove us into a tree … I almost killed Tom Cruise.”
Although the possibility of the iconic duo reuniting for the sequel remains uncertain, fans are awaiting their return.
Edge of Tomorrow is currently available to stream on Max.
