Anne Hathaway Joins Tom Cruise in "Days of Thunder" Sequel! 🏎️ Fans Ask: "Does She Ever Sleep?"

Anne Hathaway is set to star alongside Tom Cruise in an eagerly anticipated follow-up film to "Days of Thunder," nearly 40 years after the original hit screens. The announcement has sent waves of excitement through Hollywood and among fans, but it's Hathaway's incredibly packed schedule that's truly grabbing headlines.

The 43-year-old actress has had a monumental year, already starring in four films: "Mother Mary," "The Devil Wears Prada 2," "The Odyssey," and "The End of Oak Street." She also has "Verity," an adaptation of Colleen Hoover's novel, slated for an October release. This latest addition to her slate, the "Days of Thunder" sequel, solidifies her reputation as one of the hardest-working stars in the industry.

Fans quickly took to social media after Hathaway and Cruise made a joint Instagram announcement on Saturday, sharing a video teaser. The overwhelming sentiment was captured by comments like, "DOES ANNE EVER SLEEP" and "Does Anne ever sleep, or what?" Others lauded her prolific output, with remarks such as "Anne is the enemy of unemployment, first lady of work" and "Another Anne Hathaway movie? YES PLEASE."

In the teaser, Hathaway also confirmed a personal detail: she is pregnant with her third child with husband Adam Shulman and plans to give birth before filming on the "Days of Thunder" sequel commences. This revelation only added to fans' awe, with one commenter noting, "Her baby is already so well-traveled ...

She's everywhere." Hathaway has been married to Shulman since 2012, and they have two sons born in 2016 and 2019.

Tom Cruise will reprise his iconic role as NASCAR driver Cole Trickle from the 1990 original. Hathaway is cast as a racecar team owner and engineer, a role that promises to be both challenging and dynamic. The film is set to be directed by Jonathan Levine, with Cruise also producing alongside Jerry Bruckheimer and Tommy Harper.

The original "Days of Thunder" featured a star-studded cast including Nicole Kidman, Robert Duvall, Randy Quaid, and John C.

Reilly. While Cruise's return is confirmed, it remains unclear whether any other members of the original cast will join the follow-up.

Paramount Pictures has set the release date for the "Days of Thunder" follow-up for June 2, 2028. This long-awaited sequel, featuring two of Hollywood's biggest names, is already generating significant buzz and is sure to be a major cinematic event.
