However, it would soon become apparent that the sequel’s timeline was not the only thing going backwards about it.
Christopher McQuarrie would chime in the following year, promising to make sense of Edge of Tomorrow’s explanation-demanding ending in a tweet, while Doug Liman would return to the conversation soon after promising a much better arc to the heroic evolution of Tom Cruise’s character.
He would later elaborate on this detail by also revealing to Yahoo Movies that the “sequel that’s a prequel” will start where the first film left off before going backwards in time, as a further explanation of how Edge of Tomorrow 2 – sorry, “Live Die Repeat and Repeat” – will be so revolutionary.
