Tom has also starred in a sequel to Top Gun
After the success of Top Gun’s 2022 reboot, Tom Cruise is looking back to the 1990s for another hit movie.
Reports allege that the action superstar is considering starring in a sequel to the 1990 Nascar drama Days of Thunder. In classic Cruise fashion, Days of Thunder is an adrenaline-fueled look into the life of stock car drivers, and particularly Cole Trickle, a hot-headed rookie who must overcome personal and professional challenges to achieve success.
Nicole Kidman also starred in the original film; it is where the pair met and they went on to get married in 1990 and were wed for 11 years, welcoming two children, Isabella, 31, and Connor, 29, both of whom were adopted.

Paramount has not commented on the reports, and Deadline alleges that there is no creative brief attached to the project.
Tom is no stranger to working on long-running franchises as in 2025 he will star in the eighth Mission: Impossible installment; the first film was released in 1996 and all eight have starred Tom and Ving Rhames.
He began working on the sequel to 1986’s Top Gun in 2010 after years of insisting a sequel would be ‘irresponsible,” but later changed his mind when given a script that was a “progression for Maverick,” his character.
The film was released in 2022 and became the highest-grossing film of his career after crossing $800 million worldwide.
