To fit with the theme of the first movie, the second movie is just the first movie again, but from a slightly different angle.
- I Will watch it again just like I did it many times for the first movie
While sequels to closed stories are usually terrible, they can actually pull off a prequel with her character getting the omega's power, before Cage came into the picture.
- I can see the narrative opportunity for that, but I think doing a 2nd movie that doesn't include both the stars would feel like a missed opportunity.
  
  i think it would be nice if they had a baby and the baby turned out to be infested with an alien pathogen, and it ate everything up, and left some nice sauce to french chefs to enjoy.
- The first movie wasn’t all of the comic, there’s more story left.
  
  It's a short novel, and the movie wasn't any of it
  Highly recommend the book, it's incredible
Titled TooEdgy2Morrow. You heard it here first.
- 😂😂
Why does everything need a sequel? That movie was great all on its own, one of the few standalone sci fi movies made in recent years. Why do we need another? Is advertising a new movie that expensive that the marketing team needs to ride some else's coattails to get results?
- Cruise doesn't make bad movies so if they want to do a sequel then I'm all for it.
This movie definitely doesn't need a sequel. How about these hacks be creative and present us with new stories in the media format, just like they did with, I don't know, the first adaptation?
They have the talent, they have the money. Just be creative and risk a little.
That's the only reason we're talking about this movie in the first place. They took the risk, and imo, it paid off. I understand it maybe didn't do so well in the box office aspect, but look at the cult following this movie has.
Just leave this movie alone. Let's have new cool stories, please!
- I don't think Edge of Tomorrow is where we need to start complaining about sequels. Edge of tomorrow, with Cruise and Blunt, was really unique and fun, and I'd like to see more.
  
  I wholeheartedly agree with your point on the actors. Would be really interesting seeing them together in other contexts/stories, though.
Bill Paxton isn’t.
- Too soon.
  
  And for the record I freaking loved Bill Paxton, in this movie and about all of his work.
- Damn, he ain't gonna be in Edge of Tomorrow 3!
So Groundhog Day 3.
- You mean Happy Death Day 3?
Just rewatched it yesterday. A sequel would be crap.
How about an actual adaptation of All You Need Is Kill instead
Tom Cruise is always good, so I believe in a sequel.
Other actors, not so much.
