Paramount, weeks after confirming plans to move forward with a sequel to the 1990 racing movie Days of Thunder, with Tom Cruise returning as Cole Trickle.

But according to insiders, it's totally up to Kidman if she wants in.
Kidman prioritizes female filmmakers, return uncertain
Nicole Kidman's focus for the last decade has been to work with and elevate female directors and producers, so her return isn't guaranteed. Even a cameo would need to fit her creative vision.
If she does sign on, it'll be the first time Cruise and Kidman work together since their split in 2001, a reunion fans will definitely notice.
