Anne Hathaway has been cast to star opposite Tom Cruise in the highly anticipated sequel to the 1990 film Days of Thunder. Cruise announced the news on social media, posting a teaser image of himself and Hathaway, with a release date set for summer 2028. The Oscar-winning actress is expecting a baby, and in her statement, she humorously mentioned that she'll deliver her child before they embark on making the movie.
Paramount Pictures released an official press statement confirming Hathaway's role in the sequel, revealing that it will be filmed in IMAX and will be released on June 2, 2028, in theaters with various premium large formats, including IMAX, 4DX, and Dolby Cinema. Tom Cruise will once again portray NASCAR driver Cole Trickle, while Anne Hathaway will play a team owner and engineer in this follow-up to the groundbreaking film that revolutionized cinema.
The sequel will be directed by Jonathan Levine, known for films such as 50/50, The Long Shot, and Warm Bodies, and will be produced by Cruise alongside Jerry Bruckheimer and Tommy Harper. Jonathan Levine’s previous directorial credits include Mr. Irrelevant: The John Tuggle Story, which stars Superman’s David Corenswet. Anne Hathaway can be currently seen in The End of Oak Street and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, and is set to star in the thriller Verity.
Tom Cruise will next be seen in director Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s apocalyptic comedy Digger, which he has described as "totally original" and unlike any film he's ever made before.
