Randy Quaid slams Anne Hathaway's casting in Tom Cruise's Days of Thunder Sequel

Randy Quaid of Days of Thunder star publicly criticised Tom Cruise on Saturday following the announcement that Anne Hathaway will replace Nicole Kidman as the female lead in the upcoming sequel.

In a post shared on X, Randy called out his former co-star Tom's casting decision and commented directly on Anne's appearance, stating that she is not "sexy" enough for the role.

What Randy Quid of Days of Thunder had to write about Anne Hathaway

“We need Nicole [Kidman] back. Don't be a p***y, [Tom Cruise]. You need the original girl. It's not personal; it's filmmaking. Anne isn't sexy, because, and if you haven't noticed, she's pregnant,” Randy wrote.

In a follow-up post, the actor further added, “Anne Hathaway is a leftist, woke, horrible choice for the ‘DAYS OF THUNDER' NASCAR audience who are MAGA. The sexy older chick for Tom in this film needs to be Nicole. That's the casting that would sell the idea. It's interesting because when we made the first one, there was also a rush to get it out; editors slept in the cutting room on shifts. This is a weird thing, like they want it to come out and tank.”

When is Days of Thunder releasing?

Tom Cruise announced the sequel to Days Of Thunder by sharing a video on social media. In the video, Anne Hathaway, who is pregnant with her third child, joked, “Now what? Let's make the movie … I'm going to have the baby, and then we're going to make the movie." Tom responded, "That's a good idea. You have the baby, then we'll go make the movie. We're coming out in the summer of 2028. Don't be late."

The sequel is slated for a June 2028 release, almost 40 years after the original film. Jonathan Levine is going to direct the film, with Tom Cruise producing alongside Jerry Bruckheimer and Tommy Harper.
