Long before his latest racing venture, F1, hit theaters last week, Brad Pitt almost teamed up with Tom Cruise on a different high-octane project. Pitt disclosed in a recent interview with the publication The National that he and Cruise were originally slated to star in Ford v Ferrari,

Pitt also noted that he’d love to work on a follow-up to Cruise’s 1990 racing film ‘Days of Thunder.’ Before F1: The Movie raced into theaters last week, Brad Pitt was originally set to star in another racing film alongside none other than Tom Cruise .

F1: The Movie is not slowing down, and Brad Pitt is enjoying all the fun that's coming his way. The film opened at a whopping USD 144 million, shattering all previous expectations. There are talks of the stars returning for a second round, and the makers behind the film are already discussing how they can continue the series.
