In an interview with DigitalSpy, Doug Liman, the director of the movie explained, "If I'm going to do a sequel for the first time in my life I want to make it the opposite of what you'd expect from a sequel and we found a story that does that".
Emily Blunt admitted that the filming for Le retour de Mary Poppins (2018) delayed the production of the movie.
Bill Paxton was originally set to reprise his role as Master Sergeant Farrell but sadly passed away
The sequel's title was changed to 'Live, Die, Repeat & Repeat', after audiences responded better to the 'Live, Die, Repeat' tagline of the first film.
If Doug Liman returns to direct, it will be his third collaboration with Tom Cruise, following Edge of Tomorrow (2014) and Barry Seal: American Traffic (2017).
