Directed by Lee Isaac Chung (“Minari”), “Twisters” is set to be one of the biggest movies of the summer. The expectations are high as the film stars Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell, who after the successes of “Anyone But You” and “Hit Man,” is deemed as Tom Cruise’s successor (blessed by the ‘Mission: Impossible’ actor himself).
In this sequel, which is more a “new chapter” than having a true connection to the original, Edgar-Jones’ plays Kate Cooper, a former storm chaser who left the field after a devastating encounter with a tornado. However, convinced by her friend Javi (Anthony Ramos), she comes back to Oklahoma to test a groundbreaking new tracking system.
