The rise of demand for racing films has grown significantly higher over the past few years and Tom Cruise is reportedly contemplating making a sequel to 1990’sDays of Thunder. It’s a good idea, though, because he was able to bring back the nostalgia of theTop Gunfranchise into the fold again.
One interesting angle fans can look into this prospect is that he and his ex-wife Nicole Kidman could make history by costarring again in the potential sequel. They notably met and fell in love on the set ofDays of Thunder, so seeing them work together again on the big screen would certainly interest the viewers.
PotentialDays of ThunderSequel May Reunite Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman
An insider revealed toThe Hollywood ReporterthatTom Cruiseis reportedly planning to pick upDays of Thunderagain, along with many other projects he’s currently dealing with.
He’s talking [to Paramount] about Top Gun and Days of Thunder. It’s going to be what comes together first in terms of a script. It depends on the idea and, ultimately, the script.
Cruise presently juggles work onMission: Impossible 8and the much-anticipated follow-up toTop Gun: Maverick. The source did not reveal the actor’s motivation for revisiting an old classic film, but the hype around car racing movies has been becoming fashionable lately. Take, for example,James Mangold’sFord v FerrariandJoseph Kosinski’s upcomingF1starringBrad Pitt.
The scooper believed making a sequel toDays of Thunderisn’t entirely a bad idea, but one thing that would certainly pique the audience’s interest is how Cruise would deal with the possible return ofNicole Kidmanin the project.
There is no confirmation if the actress will play Dr. Claire Lewicki again as the script is yet to be written and produced, but wouldn’t it be a good idea to see the ex-couple collaborate once more?

Not many former couples would dare to work side by side with their previous partners, so Cruise and Kidman would become the first A-list Hollywood stars to reunite in a film ifDays of Thunder 2happens.
Fans would recallCourteney CoxandDavid Arquettestarring in 2022’sScream, but unfortunately, they aren’t on the same level of fame as Cruise and Kidman. The legendaryRichard BurtonandElizabeth Taylorwere both big stars, but they reunited in a Broadway show and not in a movie.
