Returning to a role that made you famous is something that even legendary actor Tom Cruise isn’t afraid of. Making a mint off of returning for Top Gun: Maverick, and poised to do so again with the 2023 new movie release Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One, the past has served Cruise’s future rather well. Which is why I think the next great career move for him would be a potential legacy-quel to his legal thriller, The Firm, which is actually closer to happening than you’d think.
Don’t go expecting a new movie with the A-lister playing Mitch McDeere just yet though, as we’re still in the earliest phases of this project’s potential life span. Announced through Deadline today, author John Grisham’s upcoming book, The Exchange, would reunite readers with Mitch 15 years after the events that inspired director Sydney Pollack’s 1993 adaptation.
