While the biggest news to come from the Warner Bros. Hall H panel was certainly the announcement of the Man of Steel sequel to include Batman, the Tom Cruise leading Edge of Tomorrow had footage shown and was discussed. Following the panel WB’s official Twitter account sent out a character poster featuring Cruise.
The epic action of “Edge of Tomorrow” unfolds in a near future in which an alien race has hit the Earth in an unrelenting assault, unbeatable by any military unit in the world. Lt. Col. Bill Cage (Cruise) is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously dropped into what amounts to little more than a suicide mission. Killed within minutes, Cage now finds himself inexplicably thrown into a time loop—forcing him to live out the same brutal combat over and over, fighting and dying again…and again. But with each battle, Cage becomes able to engage the adversaries with increasing skill, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (Blunt). And, as Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated encounter gets them one step closer to defeating the enemy.
Edge of Tomorrow will be releaesd June 6th of next summer.
