Tom Cruise and Anne Hathaway have finally announced the long-awaited NASCAR movie sequel, Days of Thunder. Cruise will reprise his role as Cole Trickle, while Hathaway is set to play a race team owner and engineer.
The news immediately caught the attention of several drivers, including Shane van Gisbergen. However, instead of being eager to appear on the big screen, the New Zealander jokingly declined. "Nah, I hate cameras," SVG said. "Other people can do that, but I'll watch it."
Van Gisbergen, who now races in NASCAR with Trackhouse Racing, is known for being more comfortable behind the wheel than in front of the spotlight. His attitude contrasts with his teammate, Connor Zilisch, who was starstruck by Cruise's presence at the track.
A funny moment occurred when Cruise walked into the drivers' briefing before the NASCAR Cup Series race at Daytona recently. "I got Connor good last week. Tom Cruise walked into the drivers' briefing and obviously the room stops, it's crazy, and I said to Connor, 'Who's that?', and he was wound up I didn't know who it was," van Gisbergen laughed. "That was pretty funny."
Van Gisbergen didn't get to speak with Cruise, but his other teammate, Ross Chastain, did. "It was pretty quick. Nothing in detail about anything. It was nice to meet him, he said the same," said Chastain. "It's a literal movie star I'm meeting, so I was starstruck. I'm looking forward to whatever the plan is as they get back to the track to start filming. I'm excited to watch it unfold from in the garage. You don't get to meet a movie star every day and I got to meet one."
Days of Thunder 2 is scheduled for a June 2028 release. Racing fans will certainly be eager to see how the sequel captures the authentic NASCAR atmosphere, even without a cameo from van Gisbergen.
