Bill Paxton was originally set to reprise his role as Master Sergeant Farrell but sadly passed away
In an interview with DigitalSpy, Doug Liman, the director of the movie explained, "If I'm going to do a sequel for the first time in my life I want to make it the opposite of what you'd expect from a sequel and we found a story that does that".
Emily Blunt admitted that the filming for Mary Poppins Returns (2018) delayed the production of the movie.
The sequel's title was changed to 'Live, Die, Repeat & Repeat', after audiences responded better to the 'Live, Die, Repeat' tagline of the first film.
If Doug Liman returns to direct, it will be his third collaboration with Tom Cruise, following Edge of Tomorrow (2014) and American Made (2017).
