Tom Cruise has announced a sequel to the 1990s film Days of Thunder, bringing his character Cole Trickle back to the screen. The new movie is described as a follow-up in which Cruise reprises his role as the NASCAR driver.
The outlets agree that the sequel is planned for theaters in 2028. While the basic premise is consistent across coverage, the emphasis varies: Forbes highlights the return of Cole Trickle after long-running speculation, while other outlets focus on the straightforward announcement and the release timeline. All accounts frame the project as a continuation of the original story’s racing setting and Cruise’s involvement, presented as a major update to a longstanding interest in a possible follow-up.
