While appearing on recent episode of the Happy Sad Confused podcast, the actress said she wishes there could be another film and that she has read a script for one before.
“There was one that Doug Liman kind of slithered over to me,” she said. “I would love to make it a reality but I just don’t know when or how. And how many Mission Impossibles does he Cruise need.”
Blunt jokes that Cruise needs to “come back to the side where you can be … like wasn’t he brilliant as the cowardly hero? Incredible.”
In the 2014 film, directed by Liman, Blunt starred opposite Cruise, who keeps reliving the same day over and over again fighting aliens.
The actress clarified that she is “not the impediment, I promise.”
Blunt also opened up about why she doesn’t consider herself a movie star, even though she has starred dozens of films.
When asked about the difference between being an actor or movie star, Blunt said, “Most people would want to consider themselves an actor first.”
As for herself, when asked if she thinks she could be both, Blunt quickly responded, “No, gross. I don’t.
“To me, a movie star sounds sort of too separate of what we kind of started out doing and why we love it and why I love it.”
The Oppenheimer star explain feels there can’t be movie star without recognizing one’s talents as an actor first, using “one of the first actors who made such an impact on” her growing up as example.
Julia Roberts: Pretty Woman
Julia Roberts was defined as a movie star, but you can’t forget her incalculable abilities as an actor and how incredible she was in Pretty Woman, that the reason she’s a movie star is because she kidnaps you and pulls you in to this movie because of her phenomenal talents and her charm and her charisma.”
The actress believes the two concepts can be blended sometimes.
“When someone’s got that wattage to them, it’s like you can’t rip your eyes off them,” she continued. “Maybe that’s what the movie star thing is but I see it often as a blend.”
Blunt quipped that Cillian Murphy (lead in Oppenheimer) “would be sort of horrified to be called the movie star.”
