Pitt praised Mangold's version as a "great movie," adding that while his and Cruise's version did not come through, he would "love to" reunite with Cruise for a F1 sequel. The two last starred in 1994's Interview With a Vampire together. "I’m not sure how that’s going to work, but we’ll give it a go," he said of a potential sequel. "I’d love to."

The F1 actor, 61, spoke to with The National in an interview published July 3 to discuss his latest racing film, when he explained what exactly went down that prevented he and Cruise, 63, from starring together in what later became the 2019 sports drama featuring Matt Damon and Christian Bale.
