Tom Cruise and Anne Hathaway confirm they will star together in “Days of Thunder 2,” a sequel to the 1990 NASCAR drama. The announcement comes as Paramount Pictures and the actors publicize the project with a promotional image featuring both stars at a Daytona-area setting.
Multiple outlets report Paramount sets the film’s release for June 2, 2028, and describe the sequel as arriving nearly 40 years after the original. Most coverage focuses on Cruise’s confirmation through social media posts and the casting of Hathaway as his co-star. Other details vary by outlet, including how the film is framed—some emphasize it as a revival of the racing franchise—while others highlight production or presentation aspects such as its intended theatrical and IMAX experience, and credit specific creative roles (such as director and writer) mentioned in some reports.
