Moving onto the subject of a sequel to the film, which has been rumored for years now, Liman admits that it is still in consideration.

“And I think it’s the wrong title for the movie and I’m still hoping the film gets fully rebranded, because these films live forever in libraries.” (Later in the interview, he blames the movie’s commercial underperformance on the the fact that the studio “forced the wrong title on it.”) I fought Warner Bros on it and they insisted,” Liman told Collider. On his first day as a trooper, he begins repeating the day, over and over again, every time that he dies. If you haven’t seen the film (and, really, you should), it concerns Cruise’s civilian who gets drafted into a war between humans and an invading alien army. It's not yet clear how much Matthew Robinson's idea for the sequel differs from that, but with Liman having worked on the script as well, we don't expect the approach to have changed too much.Firstly, Liman prefers the title Live Die Repeat, which was the film’s original tag line and used as a title when the film made its way to home video (it was based on a Japanese “light novel” with the even cooler name All You Need Is Kill). 'If I'm going to do a sequel for the first time in my life I want to make it the opposite of what you'd expect from a sequel and we found a story that does that,' he explained. 'First of all the story is so amazing – much better than the original film, and I loved the original film – and second of all, it's a sequel that's a prequel,' Liman enthused, and he expanded on it to Digital Spy. Perhaps given the first movie's complex timey-wimey plot, the original concept for the sequel was one you had to get your head around.

Edge of Tomorrow 2 plot: What will Edge of Tomorrow 2 be about? But without an official sequel announcement, we don't have any confirmed cast members yet. Given the time loop ending of the first movie, any of the original characters could come back, whatever happened to them in the first movie. The problem was that everyone was a bit too busy to film it at that time, and the sequel will only happen when everyone can do it and since Blunt and Cruise are two pretty in-demand stars, that's tougher than you'd think. And in March 2018, Liman confirmed that he was working on a rewrite of the script with Jez Butterworth, who helped with the first movie. If Edge of Tomorrow 2 does actually happen though, what can we expect from the long-gestating sequel? Edge of Tomorrow 2 potential release date: Why has Edge of Tomorrow 2 been delayed?Īs mentioned above, Edge of Tomorrow 2 has yet to be confirmed as of December 2022 so we don't have an official release date – and we're no closer to finding one out either.Īt the start of 2018, it looked like the sequel would be the next movie that Liman would work on. But later on that year, director Doug Liman revealed that he has 'no idea' if the movie will actually get made. It seemed as though things were finally moving on the long-awaited sequel when Matthew Robinson was hired as a writer in March 2019. This lack of knowledge about the sequel will be nothing new to fans as there's been various stages of development on Edge of Tomorrow 2 (or Live Die Repeat and Repeat, which it may or may not still be called) since 2018.
