Director Doug Liman confirmed that his Edge of Tomorrow franchise will consist of only two movies with Edge of Tomorrow 2 being the last in this narrative. “I see this as a two-movie franchise,” he declared. The sequel’s story will round off the story that began in the first film and will pick up immediately where it left off.
Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt are set to return. Liman confirmed that he “thinks what people tend to do with sequels is they just make them bigger. And I’m like ‘no, a sequel should be smaller. You did the first film as sort of the ad campaign for the sequel, so now you don’t need as much action, and in the case of Edge Of Tomorrow, people obviously loved the comedy and they loved the situation”, he said. “So we can do way more focus on Tom’s character and Emily Blunt’s character, and there’s a third character in the sequel that’s going for sure steal the movie …. I don’t need an action sequence every two minutes”.
Liman didn’t explain who will be cast as this hinted third character and no production date has yet been set.
