Director Doug Liman has itted he has no idea if Edge of Tomorrow, but with little to show for it right now. The original movie has only improved its critical status since it came out, and is now regarded by many as one of the best sci-fi action films released in the last decade. However, it was only a modest success at the box office, which is why Warner Bros. has never been all that concerned about getting Edge of Tomorrow 2 off the ground and running.
That hasn't stopped Liman and his collaborators from trying, though. Just last month, the filmmaker confirmed Dora and the Lost City of Gold) is finished and ready to go as soon as it gets a green-light. Problem is, between his and stars Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt's schedules, Liman isn't sure that's going to happen anytime soon (if at all).
In an interview with Impulse, Liman confessed he "honestly [has] no idea" if Edge of Tomorrow 2 will ever get made, saying "Between my schedule, Tom [Cruise]’s schedule, and Emily [Blunt]’s schedule, it’s tough". However, he went on to clarify that he still very much wants to make it happen, teasing "There’s a lot more story to be told".
Scheduling does seem to be a big issue for Edge of Tomorrow 2 at the moment. Cruise is currently gearing up to shoot underwent heavy reshoots back in the spring. At this point, it's near-impossible to say when, exactly, Chaos Walking will see the light of day and Liman will be free again.
As intriguing as Edge of Tomorrow 2 sounds, it wouldn't be a total loss if it never happened. The original film works perfectly well on its own, even if feel they've got a home-run on their hands, as opposed to them bowing to pressure from studio executives.
