Doug Liman’s Edge of Tomorrow surrounds Tom Cruise with a well-rounded cast of characters in a story defined by a time loop. Edge of Tomorrow, loosely based on the Japanese light novel All You Need is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka, envisions a Europe overrun by the alien race called the “Mimics.” Major William Cage, alongside the United Defense Force, must battle the interstellar foes and put an end to their attacks, if time can stop looping for Cage first.
Character: Cruise plays the inexperienced and cowardly media affairs officer Major William Cage. After attempting to blackmail his superior officer to avoid heading to the frontlines, Cage is arrested and relocated to another base to join the J-squad in the invasion of Normandy. Cage is killed during the invasion, unleashing a mysterious time looping ability— he can relive the same day over and over again every time Tom Cruise's character dies in Edge of Tomorrow.
Character: Kentucky-born Master Sergeant Farell is the leader of the J-Squad. He takes on Cage as a member of the team after his arrest. Major Sergeant Farell is a well of insight and inspiration, unknowingly giving Cage all the advice he needs to succeed throughout the movie. Character: Dr. Noah Carter is a man of many roles. He’s a former researcher on Mimic biology and a particle physicist and mechanic for the United Defense Force. Dr. Carter is a well of information, not only helping Cage understand the Mimics but also his and Rita’s time-looping abilities and visions of the Mimic Omega.
Jonas Armstrong portrays Skinner, a soldier in the J-squad. Armstrong is an Irish actor known for his role as Robin Hood in BBC’s Robin Hood. Other credits include Floodlights, Book of Blood, and Troy: Fall of a City.
