With the trend of nostalgia proving endlessly popular and profitable, there is no franchise that seems truly dead. This is especially exciting for the fans, who have hope for their favorite film’s future. One major sequel that’s currently in development is the follow up to Doug Liman’s sci-fi epic Edge of Tomorrow, which hit theaters in 2014. The sequel is currently being titled Live Die Repeat and Repeat, with both Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt set to reprise their roles in the upcoming blockbuster.
Plans for Edge of Tomorrow 2, currently titled Live Die Repeat and Repeat, were put into action by director Doug Liman in the summer of 2017, all thanks to the positive fan response that the film received upon release. The sequel’s first script was completed last October, but Emily Blunt, who starred alongside Cruise in the first film, claimed in a recent statement that the sequel is going through rewrites and that there’s another script in the works.
McQuarrie hosted a Q&A session over the weekend. The filmmaker answered one fan question on Sunday that asked if a sequel to Edge of Tomorrow was ever going to happen. McQuarrie responded as follows.

Edge of Tomorrow is set in the not-too-distant future when alien creatures known as Mimics have invaded planet Earth. Tom Cruise’s Major William Cage goes through a sci-fi version of Groundhog Day, where he continually dies and resets the same morning. Eventually, the hero uses this to his advantage and trains in order to save the planet from invasion.
