And if Tom Cruise lives up to his rules 'rules', we will see something for a Days of Thunder 2 in 2026. Then 36 years have passed. Exactly as long as there was between the first and second Top Gun movies.
A source familiar with the potential film plans tells The Hollywood Reporter that it all depends on the script. A script that Cruise ultimately needs to vouch for if the film is to come to fruition.
Otherwise, it is not because we have lacked car movies with huge budgets in recent years. Both the Formula 1 film Rush from 2010 and the later Le Mans 66 from 2019 had budgets approaching $100 million. That today would correspond to almost 700 million Danish kroner.
