Tom Cruise is widely regarded as one of the biggest movie stars in Hollywood. He first gained widespread recognition in the early 1980s for his roles in movies such as Taps (1981), The Outsiders (1983), and Risky Business (1983). However, his role in Top Gun (1986) cemented his status as a Hollywood leading man.

Cruise continued to star in blockbuster movies throughout the 1980s and 1990s, including Rain Man (1988), A Few Good Men (1992), and Mission: Impossible (1996). He also received critical acclaim for his performances in Born on the Fourth of July (1989) and Jerry Maguire (1996), earning him Academy Award nominations. However, a new video shows the actor pursuing his other interests, and it was enough for fans to speculate about his next project.
Is Tom Cruise Working On A Hit Film’s Sequel
A video of Tom Cruise has been doing rounds on the internet. The actor can be seen with Mercedes’ pit crew at the Miami Grand Prix. While Cruise has always shown keen interest in motorsports, the video has caused a stir among his fans. Many speculate that the actor is working on a sequel to the hit film, Days of Thunder.
In 1990, Cruise starred in the action-drama Days of Thunder, directed by Tony Scott. The movie follows the story of a hotshot race car driver named Cole Trickle (Cruise), who competes in the high-stakes world of NASCAR racing. The film also stars Robert Duvall, Nicole Kidman, and Randy Quaid.

Late Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer, the same producing team behind Top Gun, produced the movie. Like Top Gun, Days of Thunder was a commercial success, grossing over $150 million worldwide. The film also received praise for its intense racing sequences and Cruise’s charismatic performance as the reckless yet talented Cole Trickle.
Tom Cruise’s Upcoming Projects
If reports are to be believed, Tom Cruise and Will Smith could soon join forces for an exciting espionage thriller, Spy Games, with Sam Mendes being eyed as the potential director. Securing Tom Cruise and Will Smith for this project could result in a cinematic milestone for DreamWorks, making it an immensely significant film.

The actor duo is rumored to play the lead roles of two spies who are given a dangerous mission to gather sensitive information from a foreign entity. Negotiations are underway for Cruise and Smith to star in this brand-new story, which has no relation to the 2001 movie of the same title featuring Brad Pitt and Robert Redford. However, it is unclear whether the film will entirely embrace the buddy-cop genre, but the possibility of such a dynamic is suggested by the premise.
Besides, Tom Cruise will soon be seen reprising his role as Ethan Hunt for Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part I. It will be the seventh installment in the franchise, and the eighth part is expected to release next year.
Days of Thunder is available for streaming on Showtime.
