In an exciting development for fans of classic racing films, Tom Cruise has revealed a sequel to his iconic 1990 NASCAR movie, "Days of Thunder," which is slated for release on June 2, 2028. Joining him in this venture is Anne Hathaway, who will take on the role of a team owner and engineer.

The announcement was made with a visual teaser featuring Cruise’s character, Cole Trickle, alongside a NASCAR racer. Directed by Jonathan Levine, the film's screenplay is penned by Will Staples, with Cruise and renowned producers Jerry Bruckheimer and Tommy Harper on board.
