Tom Cruise continues to become one of the biggest movie stars in the world, as he enters his 60s and stars in action films or follow-ups to his iconic films.
Whether it's part of the franchise, a legacy sequel, or original material, moviegoers worldwide always rush to the theaters to watch a new movie from Cruise, and they will continue to do so in his future projects.
Here are the five Tom Cruise movies that deserve a sequel.
Edge of Tomorrow
For years, fans have been clamoring for Cruise, Emily Blunt, and Doug Liman to do a sequel to Edge of Tomorrow. While there have been attempts, none of them have come closer to fruition since the key creatives are still busy with other projects.
It is a no-brainer for the film to have a sequel at some point, given the storytelling possibilities that they can do in a follow-up, and it has also gained a strong cult following since the first film was released.
The Color of Money
When Cruise (who was a rising star at that time) made The Color of Money in the '80s, he was being mentored by screen legend Paul Newman, and it was seen as a passing-the-baton moment from one movie star to another.
It would be interesting if they decide to do a sequel today with Cruise being the mentor this time around and passing the baton to a rising star of today to make it a full circle experience.
Days of Thunder
A sequel to Days of Thunder is currently in development, with Cruise set to reprise his iconic role of Cole Trickle and produce the project. So far, the story details are still being kept under wraps.
With the popularity of F1 today, it makes a lot of sense for Cruise to revisit Days of Thunder, and this time around, he will mentor a group of young racers. It would be a similar approach to Top Gun: Maverick.
Jerry Maguire
The film has always been beloved and considered to be one of Cruise's best performances in his career. Some of the lines are still being quoted to this day as they've been ingrained in pop culture.
While a sequel might be unnecessary, there might still be interest from fans in seeing where Jerry Maguire is at now and how he would handle the world of sports in today's age.
Risky Business
Cruise made his breakthrough in the 1983 coming-of-age classic Risky Business. The iconic scene where he slides across the floor and sings "Old Time Rock and Roll" is still being parodied to this day.
While this is not the type of film that needs a sequel, fans might want to see where Joel Goodsen and Lana are today and whether their relationship has continued to flourish since the events of the original.
