Emily Blunt Gives Update On Edge Of Tomorrow Sequel

It's been 10 years since Edge of Tomorrow--also known as Live. Die. Repeat.--hit theaters and despite the so-so box office return, fans have been curious about a sequel to the sci-fi action movie for a while now. The Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt film has become a cult classic and Blunt recently gave an update on a potential sequel.

Blunt received her first Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress for Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, and got the news in an interesting way. Talking to Josh Horowitz for a conversation at 92NY, the actress broke down some iconic roles in films like The Devil Wears Prada and Edge of Tomorrow. When asked if there's any update for a sequel to the latter, Blunt said it's still a possibility.

"I think when we were first talking about the sequel, it was right before I was about to do Mary Poppins, so it was quite a while," Blunt said (via THR). "And then I think if we're going to do one, we would have to reimagine what the sequel will look like."

The film, based on the manga All You Need Is Kill, is centered around two soldiers stuck in a time loop as they try to protect Earth from a large-scale attack from aliens that have already occupied Earth. Even talking back in December, Blunt said they would have to figure out how to make it work by acknowledging it's been 10 years, and maybe rework how she would approach the action.

"[Director] Doug [Liman] and I talk all the time about it. I know Tom wants to do it, hopefully, at some point. But it's timing, but it's also been 10 years since we made it," she said. "There was an amazing script in the works, but I think it would only have worked if we shot it eight years ago. I'm not saying we're that ancient, but you have to factor in it's been 10 years."
