The world wants two movie legends, Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, to team up for a thrilling ride on the track, and it seems the one person who could make it happen is also open to the idea. The two actors have often been pitted against each other by the media throughout their successful careers, while Cruise and Pitt have always warmly greeted each other whenever they crossed paths.

Moreover, fans have also long hoped to see the two share the screen again following their appearance together in the 1994 film Interview with the Vampire. As both Cruise and Pitt gear up for impressive movie runs over the next few years, fans can only hope for another collaboration. And it seems Jerry Bruckheimer shares a similar sentiment.

There has been plenty of talk on social media about Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt reuniting on the F1 tracks for the F1 sequel. When asked about the possibility, Jerry Bruckheimer, who is producing both projects, suggested that he would be open to the idea of bringing the two actors together. So, there is hope that the F1 sequel could surprise fans.

“I would love that. I would be great to put those two amazing actors together. Icons. Talk about icons,” he told Entertainment Tonight.

However, there is no official update on a potential reunion.

He confirmed that they are working hard on the project and are currently focused on completing the script before moving into production.

While the movie is expected to begin filming in 2027, there has also been an update on a potential delay for the F1 sequel.

Why is the F1 sequel facing a delay?

After the success of Brad Pitt’s F1 movie, a sequel was quickly confirmed and is already in the works. However, the film could face a slight delay, as Kerry Condon revealed in an interview with ScreenRant’s Ash Crossan during The Pressure junket. She explained that the team is currently waiting for director Joseph Kosinski.

“I have heard about that, and they all love the script, but I guess it's going to be when Joe, our director, is available, and then also we have to go with the F1 schedule,” she said.

Joseph Kosinski has had quite a hectic schedule following the success of Top Gun: Maverick and F1, so the director will have to clear his schedule to dedicate his time to the sequel. Not to mention, much like the first film, the second installment will likely be filmed around Grand Prix weekends. So, it may be a while before the movie arrives in theaters and fans find out whether a Cruise and Pitt reunion is actually possible.
