Should Tom Cruise revisit The Color of Money instead of Days of Thunder 2?

[DerryCarpenter]

Collider just dropped an article suggesting that instead of "Days of Thunder 2," Tom Cruise should consider a legacy sequel to "The Color of Money." The piece argues that revisiting the world of pool hustling could tap into nostalgia for both the original film and its predecessor, "Martin Scorsese's The Hustler." They noted,

"Cruise has proven he can carry a franchise and elevate its legacy."

Seems like a fresh take considering how many 80s films are getting sequels now. What do you all think? Is it time for Cruise to hit the felt again?

Forget 'Days of Thunder 2,' This Tom Cruise Classic Deserves a Legacy Sequel

Days of Thunder is the next '80s Tom Cruise hit to get the sequel treatment, but he should revisit The Color of Money, which was itself a sequel.

Revisiting "The Color of Money" could definitely tap into some rich nostalgia, especially with Scorsese's masterful direction and the chemistry between Cruise and Newman. However, I can't help but feel that the pool scene dynamics might not compare to the high-octane thrills of "Days of Thunder." What do you think, could the quieter, strategic tension of pool make for a compelling sequel, or would it fall flat compared to Cruise's more action-driven roles?
