The Days of Thunder star takes a hard line at Anne Hathaway, saying she's not sexy because she's pregnant.

Tom Cruise and Anne Hathaway will reunite on the big screen for the sequel to Days of Thunder, marking their first collaboration since the original 1990 film. The announcement was made by Paramount Pictures through a social media post featuring the two actors standing beside a race car, teasing the upcoming project. The duo will return to their iconic roles, Cruise as the NASCAR driver Cole Trickle and Hathaway as his team’s engineer and owner. According to the studio, the new film will be produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and Tommy Harper, with Jonathan Levine set to direct. Hathaway, who is currently pregnant, revealed in the video that she plans to give birth before filming begins. Once the baby arrives, she and Cruise will embark on the production of the new installment. This marks a significant moment for both actors, as they have not worked together since the original Days of Thunder in 1990. That film, which earned over 136 million euros at the box office, more than doubled its initial budget, solidifying its place as one of the most successful racing films ever made. In the original film, Cruise played the role of Cole Trickle, a young and ambitious racer, while Hathaway portrayed the character of Charlene, the team's mechanic and businesswoman. Their chemistry on screen helped elevate the film beyond a simple sports story into a compelling narrative of ambition and partnership. The pair met during the filming of the movie and later married, though their marriage ended in 2001 after a decade-long union. They had two children together, a son named Connor and a daughter named Isabel. The decision to bring Cruise and Hathaway back together for the sequel has generated considerable excitement among fans of the franchise. Both actors have remained active in Hollywood, with Cruise continuing to star in action films such as Mission: Impossible and Hathaway appearing in critically acclaimed projects like Les Misérables and Black Swan. Their return to the Days of Thunder universe suggests a renewed interest in revisiting classic stories with modern sensibilities. Paramount Pictures has not yet released specific details about the plot of the new film, but industry insiders speculate that it could explore the legacy of the original characters and perhaps introduce new elements to the storyline. Given the success of the first film, the studio likely expects the sequel to perform well financially and maintain the high standards set by its predecessor. As preparations for the new film begin, fans eagerly await further announcements about casting, locations, and release dates. With Cruise and Hathaway set to reunite, the anticipation surrounding Days of Thunder II continues to build, promising another exciting chapter in the history of this beloved franchise.
