Summary
Randy Quaid used multiple X posts to attack Anne Hathaway’s casting in the new Days of Thunder sequel, calling her a bad fit for the film’s NASCAR audience and urging Tom Cruise to bring back Nicole Kidman.
Quaid tied his criticism to Hathaway’s politics and pregnancy, while arguing the sequel should reunite Cruise and Kidman rather than introduce what he called a “new girl.”
The sequel was announced Saturday by Cruise and Hathaway, with Cruise returning as Cole Trickle and Hathaway cast as a race-team owner and engineer.
Jonathan Levine will direct, Cruise will produce with Jerry Bruckheimer and Tommy Harper, and the film is scheduled for release in June 2028—nearly 40 years after the 1990 original.
