Edge of Tomorrow is a great science fiction film that managed to consolidate a significant fan base over the years. Had it been made in 2023, things could have been different, and an entire franchise could have developed from its story. In an interview with Happy Sad Confused‘s Josh Horowitz, Emily Blunt once again talks about a sequel to the acclaimed film and assures that its development would feel like the right thing to do.
What is Edge of Tomorrow about?
Released in 2014 and directed by Doug Liman, the film features a futuristic setting in which Earth is being invaded by an alien race known as the Mimics. The plot centers on the character of William Cage, an army public relations officer who suddenly finds himself recruited to fight on the front lines against the invaders.
With no combat experience, Cage dies on his first mission but unexpectedly wakes up to find himself reliving the same day over and over again. With the help of Rita Vrataski, an experienced soldier known as the “Queen of War,” Cage must use this time loop to enhance his abilities and find a way to defeat the Mimics and save humanity.
The film combines elements of science fiction, action, and thriller while exploring themes such as personal redemption, determination, and sacrifice. As Cage repeats the same day over and over, he experiences personal growth and a change in perspective, becoming a brave and strategic leader in the fight against the Mimics.
The narrative unfolds through thrilling action sequences and unexpected twists, keeping the viewer in suspense as Cage and Rita work together to unravel the mystery behind the temporal powers and find a way to win the war. The film is based on the Japanese science fiction novel All You Need Is Kill written by Hiroshi Sakurazaka and published in 2004.
What did Emily Blunt say about a sequel to Edge of Tomorrow?
In the past, Blunt has reiterated her interest in returning for a sequel; however, this has not been possible. She now returns to the topic with hope:
“It could be good. I think when we first talked about a sequel, it was right before I was about to do Mary Poppins, so it was quite a while ago. I think if we were going to make one, we’d have to reimagine what the sequel would be like.”
What other films has Emily Blunt starred in?
Emily has starred in a variety of acclaimed films, from dramas to comedies and thrillers. Some of her most notable films include The Devil Wears Prada, where she plays Emily Charlton, the assistant to the fearsome fashion editor Miranda Priestly; A Quiet Place, a post-apocalyptic horror thriller directed by John Krasinski, where she plays a mother fighting to protect her family from deadly creatures that hunt by sound; and Sicario, a crime drama directed by Denis Villeneuve, where she plays an FBI agent involved in an operation to dismantle a Mexican drug cartel.
