Tom Cruise is reportedly back on the track — but this time, he’s doing laps around political correctness! At 62 years young, Cruise is revving up to reprise his role as hot-headed NASCAR racer Cole Trickle in a sequel to the 1990 cult classic Days of Thunder. Titled «Mission Possible: Days of Thunder 2», this upcoming film has enough twists to make a seasoned driver lose control. Sketches from the project have surfaced, promising everything from unlikely character comebacks to, um, unforeseen paint jobs. Fasten your seatbelts, folks! 😆🚗
In a move that could only come from Hollywood in 2024, Cruise’s character Cole Trickle will reportedly experience an «identity reboot» after an incident that fans are already calling Bizarre-O-Gate. According to sources, Trickle accidentally falls into a vat of industrial machine oil during a wild night in the pit crew garage. Instead of merely staining his race suit, the oil turns him permanently black. «This unique transformation symbolizes a deeper message about the fluidity of identity,» claimed a very enthusiastic screenwriter on the project. Meanwhile, fans are left wondering: is Cole Trickle racing to victory or to the front lines of the culture wars? 🤔💄🏆
Nicole Kidman is also expected to return — but her role as the local beauty (who apparently ditched NASCAR in favor of TikTok stardom) won’t be quite the same. In an unexpected twist, Kidman’s character is set to explore «gender neutrality with a dash of sapphic flair». This change, according to producers, is meant to bring a fresh, diverse feel to the Days of Thunder legacy. Reactions are mixed, as some fans are wondering if Days of Thunder is heading for a car wreck of self-discovery, and others are all revved up to see the new dynamic. 🏳️🌈🌸
Perhaps the wildest development is the rumored involvement of 93-year-old Robert Duvall, reprising his role as crew chief Harry Hogge. Although negotiations are ongoing, Duvall’s possible return has fans buzzing. Randy Quaid will also return, allegedly as a passionate activist for causes including the liberation of Palestine. Rumor has it, Quaid’s character will carry a picket sign in one hand and a NASCAR flag in the other, steering this Days of Thunder sequel down roads nobody expected. 🚩💥
