Those of you who liked the first movie, see if you can watch it in 3D at a buddy's house. The 3D blu-rays were official studio releases, so the quality is excellent. That's how I saw it, and really liked it.
If Cruise makes a sequel, I bet it will be good. I just pray that it will also be released in 3D. |

Quoted: Quoted: Kidding, right? Blunt eats a couple of cheeseburgers, gets those 5 or 6 pounds of sexy fat back on her, that alone would be worth a prequel ticket. Sir we said sequels. Sequel, prequel, mequel…let’s just see more Blunt. |

I like Tom Cruise, I like Emily Blunt, I love Edge of Tomorrow, BUT that movie doesn't need a sequel.

It was a great little film but a sequel would feel really tacked on. The whole film was about exploring the concept of repeating time and fighting aliens with it. It’d just be a repeat cash grab without a fairly significant conceptual rework, and the rework was half the fun of the movie.

Quoted: the world doesn't need any more sequels View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: I love this movie but don't need a sequel. Yeah I think people need to realize that half the reason people want a sequel has to do with the film in question being original. Having a sequel to it defeats the purpose. But creating new ideas and intelligent filmmaking is a lot harder and riskier than just redoing a film worse and riding on its coattails of name recognition. |

Quoted: I like Tom Cruise, I like Emily Blunt, I love Edge of Tomorrow, BUT that movie doesn't need a sequel. View Quote You’re right. But, it needs a prequel. There’s a whole story waiting to be told that was alluded in the movie and that’s how Blunt’s character became the Full Metal Bitch. She had the same abilities as Cruise’s character minus the experienced guidance that he had in her. |

Quoted: It's a fantastic movie, and with good writers and a good script, a sequel COULD be good. Aliens is a completely different kind of movie from Alien, but is still an amazing sequel. So I am sure a good sequel is possible. View Quote Maybe telling the Angel of Verdun story would have some chance but I don't see how you would fit TC into that. |

Of course she does.
How about Scicario 3 where she jumps on the team for the big win? |
|
did they use all of the source material for the movie, or is there more that could make a non cash grab sequel?

No sequels!
If Emily Blunt wants to tramp around in powered armor then let her play Forrest in a faithful adaptation of John Steakley's Armor. |

Bring Blunt in if she needs money. |

Make a prequel instead. That clearly lays out how the invasion started.

It was effectively Cruise's story, from the world's point of view, she spent a day or two in the perfect zone annihilating aliens. From her point of view, she re-spawned thousands of times. We don't need that story. |

Quoted: Edge of Tomorrower? No thanks. ETA - Leave good films alone - don't ruin them with unnecessary sequels. View Quote Generally I'd agree, but this is Tom Cruise, one of the last great movies stars that is still working, and actually respects his audience and fans and works his ass off to give them what they want without trying to make everything a woke message. Edge of Tomorrow was a phenomenal movie though. |

“While Liman had initially signed on for the film’s sequel in 2016, it was not until 2019 that the director finally announced the script had been completed. Hoping to name the follow-up Live, Die Repeat & Repeat, Liman has suggested that the second film would be “a sequel that's a prequel”, hinting at the continued use of time manipulation. However, after numerous delays, in early 2022 the surprising news broke that Warner Bros. was instead secretly looking at making an Edge of Tomorrow television series.
At this stage, little is known about the potential TV series adaptation, with news of its existence only breaking due to a lawsuit filed against the studio by the film’s original production company, Village Roadshow. Between this lawsuit, and Warner Bros.'s later merger with Discovery, Inc, it's possible that those plans may also end up going completely by the wayside.” |

Quoted: Edge of Tomorrower? No thanks. ETA - Leave good films alone - don't ruin them with unnecessary sequels. View Quote I mean, I'm sure the new script will be true to the flavor of the original and not have Cruise playing an over the hill idiot who has to be rescued every couple of minutes by his younger, stronger, smarter, empowered female companion. They'd never do such a thing. Right? |

I'd be interested if they released the story concept they want to go with, versus a random cash grab.
I'm all about some more Emily, to be honest. Nom nom |

I would make a movie with Emily Blunt.
