About this episode

Anne Hathaway is set to play a racing team owner in the long-awaited Days of Thunder sequel, echoing Randy Quaid’s original role — but Quaid is furious, blasting her as a “horrible choice” on social media and pushing for Nicole Kidman instead, claiming NASCAR fans (especially MAGA supporters) would connect better with her. He even mocked Hathaway’s pregnancy, calling her unsexy. No official response from Cruise or Hathaway, who confirmed she’ll have the baby before filming. Quaid isn’t even confirmed for the sequel, which hits theaters June 2, 2028 — turning this casting news into a full-blown Hollywood feud.
