In a Deadline interview that’s principally about The English (price studying only for her dialogue of the scene in which her character, a lady navigating the Eighteen Nineties American frontier, eats calf testicles), Blunt was requested about the potential for extra Fringe of Tomorrow, one thing that director Doug Liman has talked about prior to now and Blunt herself has additionally addressed. In brief, she’s greater than keen, although she does have some affordable circumstances. “I might like to do one other one. I don’t know when and I don’t understand how, however I might adore it,” she stated, earlier than including “I don’t know if my again may take it.”
To listen to her inform it, her costume within the sci-fi saga—which sees Tom Cruise’s character residing the identical day time and again whereas preventing an alien struggle, a process that requires the assistance of Blunt’s super-soldier—was extra cumbersome than audiences may need realized, although Cruise, who she calls “humorous,” “charming,” and “a gem” was apparently well-aware.

Whereas Fringe of Tomorrow—which is sort of a decade outdated at this level, however is someway simply as contemporary and entertaining because it was in 2014—manages to carry its twisty story to a satisfying conclusion, it certain wouldn’t be the worst concept to proceed or increase its perpetually looping story.
