In an interview with Howard Stern, Hollywood actor Emily Blunt spoke at length about the possibility of an Edge of Tomorrow sequel. She stated that she thinks that the movie is too expensive and she just doesn't know how they will go about it, citing scheduling conflicts and the film industry's financial situation. Talking about working on the first installment of the action movie, Blunt said that it was the hardest thing she had ever done but it was an amazing experience. She also mentioned how it was one of the first experiences where she was brought completely into the fold creatively and was treated like gold.

Addressing the financial situation, director Doug Liman had previously said that that the film's actors have a lot of say in whether a sequel gets made. He added that if Tom and Emily were ready to pull the trigger on the script, the film would get made and that's pretty much how Hollywood works. Doug concluded by saying that the stars are the gatekeepers and if they can get Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt to commit to the movie, it's going to happen.
