To fit with the theme of the first movie, the second movie is just the first movie again, but from a slightly different angle.

    While sequels to closed stories are usually terrible, they can actually pull off a prequel with her character getting the omega's power, before Cage came into the picture.

    I can see the narrative opportunity for that, but I think doing a 2nd movie that doesn't include both the stars would feel like a missed opportunity.

    The first movie wasn’t all of the comic, there’s more story left.

    It's a short novel, and the movie wasn't any of it

    Highly recommend the book, it's incredible

    This movie definitely doesn't need a sequel. How about these hacks be creative and present us with new stories in the media format, just like they did with, I don't know, the first adaptation?

    They have the talent, they have the money. Just be creative and risk a little.

    That's the only reason we're talking about this movie in the first place. They took the risk, and imo, it paid off. I understand it maybe didn't do so well in the box office aspect, but look at the cult following this movie has.

    Just leave this movie alone. Let's have new cool stories, please!

    I don't think Edge of Tomorrow is where we need to start complaining about sequels. Edge of tomorrow, with Cruise and Blunt, was really unique and fun, and I'd like to see more.

    Why does everything need a sequel? That movie was great all on its own, one of the few standalone sci fi movies made in recent years. Why do we need another? Is advertising a new movie that expensive that the marketing team needs to ride some else's coattails to get results?

    Cruise doesn't make bad movies so if they want to do a sequel then I'm all for it.

    I thought it had been largely agreed upon that Mr. scientology middle-tooth jump-on-Oprah's-couch serial-abusive-husband ruins everything he touches. I've actively avoided movies he had any involvement with for like two decades now, so I don't have any knowledge of more recent work.... Legend (1985) was pretty good, but Ridley Scot, Tim Curry and Mia Sara carried that film.

    You ever heard of the Mission Impossible movies? Those are good.

    The way in which and how heavily they were marketed turned me off of every one of them before they hit screens. Honestly, I've never seen a fast and furious film for the same reason. The harder someone tries to sell something, the more I have to wonder why the product can't stand on its own.

    I love people who have never seen the F&F movies. Because it starts off as good flashy dumb action that ABSOLUTELY MUST go bigger than last time.

    I'm a car guy, I loved them so much. But even I reached a point where I was like "This shit is so fucking dumb" and stopped watching.

    I find it interesting as to when people felt the need to tap out.

    Id argue the opposite... kinda.

    Its the fact that he makes really excellent movies is the only reason I watch them despite me being very against Scientology. Edge of Tomorrow is one of the best scifi movies of recent times.

    Just rewatched it yesterday. A sequel would be crap.

    How about an actual adaptation of All You Need Is Kill instead

    Tom Cruise is always good, so I believe in a sequel.

    Other actors, not so much.
