The day before yesterday, Tom Cruise said goodbye to his iconic mission: Impossible franchise with the release of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (2025) And already his agenda is packed again. In addition to the sequel to Top Gun: Maverick (2022)is now another sequel on Days of Thunder (1990) I came up, a popular film from the 90s in which he played with his then wife Nicole Kidman.
Confirmed
Cruise told about his plans with Days of Thunder During an interview with a news channel from Australia, the home country of Kidman. This makes fans think, does this mean a possible professional reunification of the former Hollywood couple? The American press previously reported that such plans existed and now the idea has been confirmed by Cruise itself. Days of Thunder Is about Cole Trickle, an ambitious young Nascar driver who wants to prove himself in a macho and competitive world.
Scientology in the road
Kidman and Cruise were married from 1990 to 2001, but their marriage ended in a complex divorce. Since then there has hardly been any contact between the two Hollywood stars. This is not only due to the personal history of their relationship, but also because Kidman has left the Church of Scientology, while Cruise remains one of the most prominent members. Within Scientology there is a strict policy called ‘Disconnection’, in which members have to distance themselves from friends or family members who leave the church or are critical of the organization.
This makes a public reunification between Cruise and Kidman very unlikely. Although they both remain professionally active and sometimes nostalgically talked about their time together, their lives nowadays seem greatly separated. Time will learn how the sequel to Days of Thunder will look.
