Following years of languishing in development hell, Doug Liman offers an encouraging update on Edge of Tomorrow 2. Liman previously teamed with Tom Cruise for the 2014 adaptation of the Japanese novel All You Need Is Kill, in which Cruise starred as a military public affairs officer who becomes stuck in a time loop in a future in which aliens have invaded Earth and are slowly winning the war against humanity, but uses the looping to find a way to beat them. Though garnering rave reviews from critics, Edge of Tomorrow was only viewed a modest box office hit, which has partly complicated sequel plans.
