Tom Cruise has entered into a significant deal with Warner Bros., signaling a pivotal shift in his career towards more auteur-driven films. This move includes discussions for 'Edge of Tomorrow 2' and marks his return to working with renowned auteurs, reminiscent of his collaboration with Paul Thomas Anderson on 'Magnolia'. Additionally, Warner Bros. Discovery is open to offers for buying, selling, or merging starting April, with the acquisition of talents like Cruise, Margot Robbie, and Paul Thomas Anderson aimed at enhancing the deal's appeal. Furthermore, Cruise has been cast in Alejandro G. Iñárritu's next film, his first English-language studio film since 'The Revenant', under this new partnership with Warner Bros. and Legendary. This collaboration with Iñárritu, an Oscar-winning director, underscores Cruise's shift back to more serious, dramatic roles.
