Blunt’s dedication to her craft and her fondness for working on Edge of Tomorrow are evident in her statements. She shared her admiration for co-star Tom Cruise, who offered support and encouragement during the physically demanding shoot. Blunt also expressed a desire to collaborate once again with director Doug Liman again, emphasizing the need to create an ambitious sequel.
“In the funniest, most charming way in the world because he was such a gem to me. But I think we just knew I just had to toughen up and get through it.

How much more mileage can we get out of a repeating day? What’s the new construct?”
