MOVIE NEWS – Emily Blunt, star of the time-traveling action film Edge of Tomorrow, was elegant, funny, but definitely pointed out that it would be time for Tom Cruise to focus on their joint sequel instead.

The 2014 film “Edge of Tomorrow” was a great success among critics and audiences, partly due to the dynamic of the couple Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt. Both actors will be back on the big screen this year: Cruise will reprise his role as Ethan Hunt for the seventh time in “Mission: Impossible – Showdown” and Blunt plays the role of the protagonist’s wife in the drama “Oppenheimer”. In a recent interview, Blunt revealed that he is ready to bring the story of Frontier back to the big screen.

Blunt, a guest on the latest episode of the Happy Sad Confused podcast, confirmed that she is not the obstacle to continue together: “I swear I’m not the obstacle.” Director Doug Liman has already presented him with the finished script that Blunt wants to implement. The actress didn’t mince words when she asked Cruise: “How many more Mission: Impossible movies do we need? Come on! Wasn’t he great as the cowardly hero?”

The failure of Mission: Impossible 7 in theaters casts doubt on the future of the franchise, with Cruise, as the film’s producer, likely tied up with the second installment of Showdown. Blunt and Liman, however, are ready and waiting for Cruise to finally make time for them. The director indicated three years ago that he was working on the story of the sequel, and Blunt has said several times in recent years that he is open to the second part.

The director already indicated three years ago that he was working hard on the story of the sequel, and Blunt also spoke several times in recent years that he was open to the second part, but in 2021 he expressed caution due to the impact of the pandemic on the film industry: “We wanted to do it. But frankly, I think it might be too expensive. I don’t know how we’re going to do it. I think it’s hard to coordinate everyone’s schedules. But I’d like to. Doug Liman would like to. Tom would like to. We’d all like to do it. But I think until it’s clear what will happen to the film industry…”
