Brad Pitt has revealed why he and Tom Cruise dropped out of starring in Ford v Ferrari. The two actors were initially attached to appear in the racing drama, but the film later went on to star Matt Damon and Christian Bale.

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."
