Hunger Games' New Prequel Thankfully Delays Any Need To Continue Katniss Everdeen's Story

7 years after justice league, hollywood still can't stop insulting wonder woman, why there are faces in lord of the rings' dead marshes.

Tom Cruise is one of the most popular actors of his generation, and here’s every upcoming movie he will appear in. Tom Cruise was born on July 3, 1962, and made his big-screen debut in 1981 in the romantic drama Endless Love , where he only had a bit part. Later that year, he had a supporting role in the drama Taps , which helped open more doors for him in the entertainment world. Cruise’s breakthrough came in 1983 with the teen comedy Risky Business , where he played the lead role. Later, in 1986, his role as Pete “Maverick” Mitchell in Top Gun helped cement his superstar status.

Since then, Cruise has worked with a number of directors and explored various genres – from gothic horror with Interview with the Vampire , where he played vampire Lestat, to action spy movies like the Mission: Impossible saga and psychological dramas like Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut . Although he has also been part of less popular and successful projects, such as the 2017 version of The Mummy , Cruise continues to be quite popular with the audience, in big part thanks to the Mission: Impossible franchise, which continues to produce more and more movies, all starring Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt.

Although Mission: Impossible continues to be a priority in Tom Cruise’s career, he already has other projects lined up, of which not much is known, but they will take him on different adventures, including one in outer space. In addition to that, fans are waiting for the highly anticipated sequel to a 1980s classic to arrive, as its release date had to be delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic . Here’s every upcoming Tom Cruise movie:

Top Gun: Maverick

First on the list of Tom Cruise’s upcoming projects is Top Gun: Maverick , a sequel to the 1986 movie Top Gun . Directed by Joseph Kosinski, Top Gun: Maverick will see Maverick training a new generation of pilots, among those Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw (Miles Teller), Goose’s son. This will push Maverick to confront the ghosts of his past and his deepest fears, culminating in a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those chosen to fly. Also starring are Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Glen Powell, and Ed Harris. Top Gun: Maverick was originally scheduled for a July 2019 release, and was later pushed to June 2020. Due to the pandemic, Top Gun: Maverick was delayed to July 2021.

Mission Impossible 7 & 8

As mentioned above, the Mission: Impossible movie series is still alive and keeps on producing new content. The latest entry in the franchise was Mission: Impossible – Fallout , released in 2018. Fans of the series won’t have to worry about the franchise ending with Fallout , as a seventh and eighth movie are in development, with plans of filming back-to-back. Unfortunately, the pandemic also changed those plans, and Mission: Impossible 7 and 8 were rescheduled, with their new release dates being November 19, 2021, and November 4, 2022, respectively.

SpaceX Project

The weirdest and most ambitious project in Tom Cruise’s list of upcoming movies is one that is currently referred to as the “SpaceX Project”. This will take Cruise and company to space , with the purpose of shooting a movie in space on board the International Space Station. The mission is expected to happen in late 2021 and will count with Doug Liman as director, but details on the plot, characters, and more are currently unknown.

Another confirmed project starring Tom Cruise is Luna Park , with Doug Liman also directing. Luna Park has been in development for years and has been referred to as a "passion project" of Liman. Just like SpaceX Project , Luna Park is a sci-fi movie, with the story following a group of renegade employees who “ venture to the moon to steal an energy source ”. Luna Park doesn’t have a projected release date yet, but hopefully, it will see the light soon.

Did you know

• Trivia This film was made by Paramount Pictures for a theatrical release but due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Paramount sold the film to Amazon Prime Video for $200 million.
• Goofs The following goof was marked as incorrect: "The soldiers from 2051 come from a time when 99.99% of the human population is dead and the war is nearly lost. Nevertheless, the governments from the present devote tremendous resources to sending millions of drafted civilians to 2051 to die almost certain deaths. There is no discussion of using the knowledge from the future to fight the impending war differently and prevent human extinction. Only at the end does it seem to occur to anyone to send the toxin back in time to change the future." Reason for it being incorrect was said to be: "However, it is possible to develop the toxin only with a female specimen available, i.e. in the future, and it cannot be possible to bring her back in the present for studies." Still, this does not explain why no effort was taken in 2022 to use knowledge from 2051 to alter the course of history.

Dan Forester : If there's one thing that the world needs right now, it's scientists. We cannot stop innovating. That's how you solve a problem.

Ethan Hunt’s next mission is going to cost him dearly.

“Your life will always matter more to me than my own,” Ethan tells agents Luther Stickell (Ving Rhames) and Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg). “None of our lives can matter more than this mission,” says Luther, to which Ethan replies, “I don’t accept that.”

The logline for Part One reads: “Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his IMF team embark on their most dangerous mission yet: To track down a terrifying new weapon that threatens all of humanity before it falls into the wrong hands. With control of the future and the fate of the world at stake, and dark forces from Ethan’s past closing in, a deadly race around the globe begins. Confronted by a mysterious, all-powerful enemy, Ethan is forced to consider that nothing can matter more than his mission — not even the lives of those he cares about most.”

Christopher McQuarrie, who has directed, written or produced a number of Cruise films, directed and co-wrote the script with Erik Jendresen; he also produces with Cruise. Executive producers are David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, Don Granger, Tommy Gormley, Chris Brock and Susan E. Novick.

Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby, Esai Morales, Pom Klementieff, Mariela Garriga, Henry Czerny, Shea Whigham, Greg Tarzan Davis, Charles Parnell, Frederick Schmidt, Cary Elwes, Mark Gatiss, Indira Varma and Rob Delaney round out the cast.

Tom Cruise enters 'Danger Zone' in first 13 minutes of 'Top Gun: Maverick': Here's what you need to know

LAS VEGAS — Tom Cruise just won CinemaCon , dominating the convention for national theater owners with a dazzling display of his envelope-pushing, "most dangerous" stunt ever for  "Mission: Impossible 7" and a reveal of the 13-minute opening of "Top Gun: Maverick."

After multiple pandemic-driven delays for the anticipated film, "Maverick" is due to hit screens nationwide Nov. 19.

The "Maverick" footage revealed at CinemaCon literally puts Cruise back in the danger zone. Fans of the original will rejoice knowing that the film opens with the classically awesome Kenny Loggins guitar-screed "Danger Zone," which became the soundtrack to summer 1986 when "Top Gun" first jetted into movie screens.

To boot, the scene is on an aircraft carrier with jets careening to stops on the platform. Very old school "Top Gun." Director Joseph Kosinski hits all the right touchstones from the original "Top Gun" right off the bat: Maverick (Cruise) grabbing his Ray-Bans, passing by photos of his deceased flight partner Goose (Anthony Edwards), throwing on that leather jacket, dramatically pulling the tarp off his motorcycle and then going for a joyride.

Thank you for that. And then it's on to the new.

Summer films were 'absolutely necessary': What to know about moviegoing heading into an unstable fall

Here's what we learned from the sneak footage, without getting all spoiler-y:

• Thank heavens Ed Harris returns to the screen to give Cruise's Maverick a suitable "Top Gun" foil. Looking tough as nails, Harris plays a drone-loving admiral who shuts down Cruise's jet program. But not before Cruise can get one more record-breaking flight in. As Cruise gets close to his record flight, Harris's newly-arrived admiral grunts, "You got some balls stick jockey, I'll give you that."
• Cruise's Pete "Maverick" Mitchell is still mourning his lost RIO Officer Goose. Flying through the clouds, he looks at the rising sun and murmurs, "Talk to me, Goose." In the original movie , Maverick was cleared following the investigation over Goose's death. But it looms large with Goose's son, Lt Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw (Miles Teller) joining Cruise's elite pilot group. In the Super Bowl "Maverick" trailer, Mitchell shouts, "My dad believed in you, I'm not going to make the same mistake."
• Cruise is assigned as leader to the elite fighter training as a favor from an old friend, Admiral Kazansky. That's right, Val Kilmer's once cocky pilot Iceman is now an admiral, as seen in the footage displayed Thursday. There's even a framed picture of the admiral. Maverick is told, "He seems to think you have something to offer the Navy. What that is, I cannot imagine." Iceman did famously say in the original film, "You can be my wingman anytime."

500 skydives, 13,000 motorbike jumps: Tom Cruise's 'Mission: Impossible' stunt training pays off

Also shown at CinemaCon Thursday was elaborate behind-the-scenes footage of an "MI:7," stunt showing Cruise working with stuntmen to ride a motorbike off a massive ramp, over a mist-covered Norwegian cliff, free-falling in the air near the falling bike, and then parachuting to the ground.

"This is far and away the most dangerous thing I’ve attempted," said Cruise, in footage remarks. "We’ve been working on this for years."

The shoot took months working with separate stunt coordinators and with Cruise practicing the motorbike jump 13,000 times, including on a specially dug out quarry with cardboard boxes placed to save the motorcycle each time. Cruise said there were more than 500 skydives to get the free-fall near the walls of the Norwegian cliff right. 

'Ghostbusters: Afterlife' at CinemaCon: Gives good goosebumps in first screening: 'Nostalgia done right'

The footage shows Cruise naturally bringing the camera along when he finally does the Norwegian cliff jump, showing him putting in his ear plugs before go time. "I like to wear ear plugs so I don't hear myself scream," he says.

Cruise takes the long ramp ride, jumps into the mountain mist of the dramatic cliffs, flies in the air with the motorcycle and pulls the parachute out.

Even better is seeing writer-director Christopher McQuarrie watching the monitors nervously as Cruise takes flight, and holding his head in nervousness after the parachute finally opens. The cheering crowd at CinemaCon could relate to the action.

Cruise seemed unsatisfied, saying he could have held onto the motorcycle longer in the air. They set up to do the stunt, again. And again. And again.

"Tom Cruise rode a motorcycle off a cliff six times today," a stunt coordinator is heard saying at the end of the day.

McQuarrie looks relieved for now. "The only thing that scares me more is what we have planned for M:I8," he says.

"Mission: Impossible 7" opens Memorial Day weekend 2022.

Upcoming Tom Cruise Movies: Top Gun: Maverick, Mission Impossible 7 And More

Tom Cruise , despite his age, remains one of the biggest action stars in Hollywood, and oddly enough, the hard-to-believe yet mostly practical stunts that he pulls off time and time again are only getting crazier. Cruise, who most recently starred in the 2018’s Mission:Impossible Fallout and actor proved that even in his mid 50s, he's still one of the top action stars around. We're always up for a good Tom Cruise movie, and honestly, everything else the actor has coming up — Top Gun: Maverick and Mission: Impossible 7 , namely — looks pretty damn good too.

Most of Tom Cruise’s movies have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic closing down film and television productions around the world and audiences’ reluctance to return to movie theaters, the veteran actor-turned-stuntman has a lot for us to look forward to here in the next year or so. While a couple of them are the requisite sequels that come with success, several others are wholly original projects, like the one that will reportedly take Cruise to space. All that being said, we're looking forward to simply learning more about many of these, never mind actually seeing the finished product, so here are some upcoming movies from one of the most notable, and hardworking, figures in Hollywood.

Top Gun: Maverick - May 27, 2022

The idea that there might, one day, be a sequel to Top Gun has been one of those development ideas that hasn't died since the first movie came out in the mid-1980s. However, now we know that after all the talk, the movie is actually happening, but just not as soon as everyone had originally hoped. The title is Top Gun : Maverick and it will follow Cruise's Pete “Maverick” Mitchell as an instructor at the flight school where he finds himself working with Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw ( Miles Teller ), the son of his former partner Goose. In addition to finding himself in the middle of a dangerous mission that could end in tragedy, Maverick is forced to confront his past, most notably the death of his best friend and wingman all those years ago.

This version of Top Gun: Maverick has been in the works since 2010, when Paramount pictures approached producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Tony Scott about making a sequel to the 1986 action blockbuster, according to New York Magazine . There wasn’t much traction with the project until 2017 when Deadline revealed that Top Gun: Maverick would see the return of Tom Cruise’s iconic fighter pilot, this time being directed by Joseph Kosinski, the director of Tron Legacy and Oblivion . Originally set for a July 2019 release, the Top Gun sequel has been delayed multiple times over the past few years, and it looked like we would be seeing Cruise take flight in June 2020. That date, however, was pushed back to December 2020 after the COVID-19 pandemic caused major disturbances in the entertainment industry.

Now it looks like we’ll have to wait until at least next summer to see Top Gun: Maverick , as the film is set to take flight on May 27, 2022.

Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning (Part 1) - July 14, 2023

At this point in his career, Tom Cruise could only make Mission: Impossible movies and his millions of adoring fans wouldn’t mind. Since first taking on IMF agent Ethan Hunt with the first entry in the franchise in 1996, Cruise has put his life on the line too many times to count by doing everything from climbing the face of a cliff with no safety gear, climbing the tallest building in the world, holding onto an airplane during takeoff, and the list goes on. Cruise looks to keep up with that trend with Mission: Impossible 7 , in which Ethan Hunt will team up with his old buddies. And while we don’t yet know what the movie is about , the cast, which includes returning members of the IMF team as well as Hayley Atwell , Pom Klementieff, Shea Whigham, and Esai Morales, has us stoked.

Production on Mission: Impossible: 7 was originally supposed to get underway in February 2020 in Italy, but when the country went into a virtual shutdown , things moved to England before being shut down. Tom Cruise didn’t let COVID-19 stop him from putting his life in danger by filming some insane stunts that will surely up the ante for future installments (more on that next). No surprise here, but all those delays in filming forced Paramount Pictures to push back the release of Mission: Impossible 7 from its original theatrical release date.

Mission: Impossible 8 - June 8, 2024

If Mission: Impossible 7 is a mystery, then its sequel, Mission: Impossible 8 is an even bigger one. Going off comments director Christopher McQuarrie made during a May 2020 appearance on the Light the Fuse podcast, the eighth movie in the franchise will be tied to the events of its most recent predecessor more than ever before . During that appearance, McQuarrie revealed that he is essentially turning one Mission: Impossible movie into two so that he can further explore all the characters similar to how he took a deep dive into Ethan Hunt’s past (including some throwbacks from earlier entries in the franchise) in Mission: Impossible - Fallout . Instead of making one extremely long movie that would require trimming some of the more emotional beats, the director essentially wants to let those stories breathe.

Tom Cruise previously confirmed the existence of Mission: Impossible 8 in January 2019 when he tweeted a short video showing the Mission: Impossible logo with a caption reading “Summer 2021 and Summer 2022.” At the time, the eighth movie was supposed to drop on August 5, 2022, but in wake of everything happening with the movie industry, Paramount Pictures pushed back the theatrical release nearly a year to July 7, 2023. According to Variety , both Mission: Impossible sequels were supposed to be shot back-to-back in order to be ready for the original release dates, but we’ll have to see how that goes with all of the delays.

Luna Park - TBD

Originally, the word was that Tom Cruise was going to join his Edge of Tomorrow director Doug Liman for Luna Park before playing Ethan Hunt again in Mission: Impossible . While that didn't happen, there's every reason to believe that Luna Park will happen once schedules align. The description of Luna Park sounds like what is essentially a heist movie, except the thing being stolen is a power source, and the place it's being stolen from is the moon. Cruise has been solid in science fiction in recent years, so we're all for it. We'll know this one is a go when more cast is announced, as a heist movie will certainly need a team.

It has long been speculated that Luna Park and the Tom Cruise sci-fi movie that will actually be shot in outer space are one and the same, considering both are to be directed by Doug Liman. Not familiar with the Tom Cruise/Space X/NASA team-up movie? Cruise and Liman are scheduled to be passengers on Space X’s Dragon Axiom when the spacecraft goes to the International Space Station in October 2021. Details are light at this point in time, but expect to hear more about the project in the next year or so as we get closer to the historic launch. If nothing changes, Cruise and Liman will film the first movie actually shot in space. I mean, can you imagine anyone but Tom Cruise shooting a movie in the vacuum of space? Hopefully we’ll find out how Cruise’s signature charm and love of out-of-this-world stunts stand up in zero gravity.

Live Die Repeat And Repeat (Edge of Tomorrow 2)

Tom Cruise will always be known for his Mission: Impossible movies and classics like Top Gun , Jerry Maguire , and Risky Business , but the action star has also been in his fair share of science fiction films throughout his career. Since the start of the 21st Century, Cruise has had leading roles in Minority Report , War of the Worlds , Oblivion , and Edge of Tomorrow or Live Dive Repeat . And with talk of a potential Edge of Tomorrow 2 or Live Die Repeat and Repeat in the works, it’s only a matter of time before Cruise’s William Cage returns in some shape or form (or time loop).

While Edge of Tomorrow wasn't a literal blockbuster, it was a successful box office film both financially and with fans. While a sequel to the film hasn't been given an official announcement, Christopher McQuarrie and other hired screenwriters are involved. Tom Cruise and Doug Liman are basically working together on a semi-permanent basis these days so this one will happen eventually. Emily Blunt previously said the script for Edge of Tomorrow 2 was being worked on, and in March 2020, the star of A Quiet Place sounded pretty optimistic about the future of the rumored follow-up to the underrated action flick. Hopefully we’ll learn more about Live Die Repeat Repeat here pretty soon, but with Cruise, Liman, and McQuarrie being extremely busy with other projects, we might be waiting on this one for quite some time. I just hope it’s not as long as the break between the Top Gun movies.

Those are all the upcoming Tom Cruise projects we can expect to see in theaters at some point in the next couple of years.

Tom Cruise: All New Movies Coming Out in 2023 and 2024

After his breakthrough with leading roles in ‘Risky Business’ and ‘ Top Gun ‘ in the 1980s, Thomas “Tom” Cruise Mapother IV started bagging pivotal roles in several dramas, including ‘ Born on the Fourth of July ,’ for which he even won a Golden Globe Award and got nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor. In the 1990s, he rose to newer heights of stardom by featuring in various commercially successful films, such as ‘ A Few Good Men ,’ ‘ Interview with the Vampire ,’ ‘The Firm,’ and ‘ Jerry Maguire .’

Once he impacted dramas, he started traversing the action and sci-fi genres. By landing some iconic roles in the ‘ Mission: Impossible ‘ film series, ‘ Collateral ,’ ‘ Edge of Tomorrow ,’ and ‘ Top Gun: Maverick ,’ he established himself as an action star, performing most of the risky stunts on his own. The winner of three Golden Globe Awards, four nominations for the Oscars, and an Honorary Palme d’Or, Tom Cruise is known to be one of the world’s highest-paid actors. Given his immense popularity and fandom, most of our readers are looking forward to his future projects. Here is a list of all the upcoming movies and TV shows of Tom Cruise!

1. Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two (2024)

Tom Cruise recently jumped off a cliff on a motorbike for ‘ Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One ‘ and he will be in action soon enough in its sequel, ‘Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two.’ Helmed by Christopher McQuarrie, the spy action movie is the eighth installment in the ‘Mission: Impossible’ film series with Cruise reprising his role as Ethan Hunt for the eighth time running.

Although the plot details are kept under wraps, the action-adventure film is most likely to resume Ethan’s hunt for The Entity as he meets some new friends and foes along the way. The production for the sequel began in March 2022 but is yet to be finished due to the delay caused by the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike. Having gone through several postponements due to the COVID-19 pandemic when it comes to its release date, it is now officially set to be released on June 28, 2024. But it is very much possible that it will get postponed again due to the pause in production.

2. Untitled Tom Cruise/SpaceX Project (TBA)

Tom Cruise is set to take his status as an action star to the next level by traveling out of Earth to film the first ever Hollywood motion picture in outer space. In May 2020, it was reported that Elon Musk’s Space X and Cruise were working on an action-adventure project with NASA. Not only is Cruise expected to be blasted into space alongside filmmaker Doug Liman, with whom he has previously worked in ‘ American Made ‘ and ‘Edge of Tomorrow,’ for the upcoming film, but he will also live up to his reputation by attempting to do a space walk outside of the International Space Station. In this movie, Cruise is set to essay the role of a down-on-his-luck man who is the sole person in the position to save Earth. Apart from starring in the film, he is attached to the project as a writer as well as a producer.

3. Live Die Repeat and Repeat (TBA)

A sequel to the 2014 movie ‘Edge of Tomorrow,’ ‘Live Die Repeat and Repeat’ is an upcoming science fiction film that will reportedly reunite Tom Cruise and director Doug Liman, with the former set to reprise his role as Major William Cage. Moreover, Emily Blunt is also rumored to portray Rita again, alongside Cruise. Ever since the release of the hit original film, talks of a sequel have been flying around. However, in 2019, it was finally set in motion when Matthew Robinson was brought on to write the script.

Fast forward to a couple of years later, in a May 2021 interview with Entertainment Weekly , Emily Blunt revealed, “That was an amazing script, but I just don’t know what the future holds for it. I did read a script that was in really great shape, but it’s just a matter of if that can even happen now. I don’t have the straight answer on that one.” With the project still lingering in the development stage, it is hard to expect it to be brought to life in at least a couple of years.

The Big Picture

• Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning has found success on Netflix after struggling to outdo its hefty budget at the box office.
• Despite its box office woes, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning received positive reviews from critics and audiences alike.
• The shift towards digital consumption has given the film a second chance to shine and attract new fans.

Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt might be known for pulling off the impossible, but the latest mission didn't quite skyrocket at the box office. Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning , co-written and directed by franchise veteran Christopher McQuarrie , initially seemed like it couldn't dodge the box office bullet. But much like Ethan Hunt escaping an exploding Kremlin, the seventh installment of this adrenaline-fueled saga has found a new avenue for victory: Netflix.

Nearly a year after its theatrical release, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning has surged back into the spotlight, climbing Netflix's Global Top 10 chart for the week of June 10-16. With 5.6 million views and a staggering 15.3 million hours clocked in, it secured the third spot, nestled comfortably behind Four Brothers and Hit Man . While it isn't available on Netflix in the United States — where it continues its mission on Paramount+ and MGM+ — the international Netflix audience has embraced Ethan Hunt's latest escapade.

Despite garnering a hefty $567 million worldwide, Dead Reckoning faced an unexpected challenge that even Ethan Hunt might struggle with: the double whammy of Barbie and Oppenheimer (affectionately dubbed "Barbenheimer") releasing the following weekend. The simultaneous drop of these cinematic heavyweights overshadowed what was supposed to be a dominating performance for the IMF crew.

How Good Is 'Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning'?

Critics and audiences alike hailed Dead Reckoning as one of the franchise's finest, boasting a 96% Rotten Tomatoes score and a 94% audience rating . These accolades placed it just a notch below the revered Fallout , but the $291 million production budget, which reached such a height due to COVID constraints , demanded more than just applause. To break even, the film needed to rake in $582-727 million — a mission made nearly impossible by pandemic-induced delays and stiff competition.

Though the theatrical run didn't hit the expected highs, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning is doing what Ethan Hunt does best : adapting and overcoming. Its resurgence on Netflix isn't just a testament to its lasting appeal but also a reminder of the shifting landscapes of film consumption. With audiences now binge-watching Hunt's fight against the rogue AI known as the Entity, the film is experiencing a renaissance.

Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning may have stumbled at the box office, but its digital success underscores a vital truth in today’s entertainment world: the game isn’t over when the credits roll on opening weekend. With its gripping action sequences and edge-of-your-seat plot twists, it’s no wonder fans are flocking to Netflix to catch Ethan Hunt in action once more. Stay tuned to Collider for more. International fans can catch the film on Netflix and U.S. readers can head over to Paramount+ .

Tom Cruise wants to still be making Mission: Impossible movies when he's Harrison Ford's age

"I've got 20 years to catch up with him."

Christian Holub is a writer covering comics and other geeky pop culture. He's still mad about 'Firefly' getting canceled.

Tom Cruise has already been playing Mission: Impossible hero Ethan Hunt for more than 20 years, but he doesn't intend to stop anytime soon. In fact, he wants to follow in the footsteps of long-tenured franchise star Harrison Ford , who just led Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny 42 years after first playing the title character in Raiders of the Lost Ark .

"Harrison Ford is a legend," Cruise told The Sydney Morning Herald at the Australian premiere of Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning, Part One this past weekend. "I've got 20 years to catch up with him."

Cruise continued, "I hope to keep making Mission: Impossible films until I'm his age."

While Cruise is certainly paying Ford a compliment, the latter previously told EW in a new digital cover story that he didn't totally love being called a "legend."

"I do not know what a legend does for a living," Ford said. "I know that I consider myself to be a working actor, and I'll settle for that."

He added, "I suppose legend means that you've been around for a long time. And I think it's meant to be, uh, gracious, but it just, uh… sounds old ."

Ford hasn't just been occupied with donning his iconic fedora and picking up his token bullwhip. Also starring in the TV shows Shrinking and 1923 , he's as busy as ever.

Meanwhile, Cruise has already starred in seven Mission: Impossible movies, and he's hardly out of juice. In EW's new review of Dead Reckoning, Part One , Maureen Lee Lenker writes that the movie's "action and thrills are next-level," with a climactic stunt that is "quite literally jaw-dropping."

Tom Cruise Should Listen to His Fans and Work on This Sequel If His Next Mission Ends Up in Another Financial Loss

T om Cruise signed a deal with Warner Bros. to co-produce and star in their films a few months ago, renewing their relationship after 2014’s Edge of Tomorrow . It was also rumored that Cruise and director Doug Liman were working on a space film project together. Now, Liman has shared that WB has been approaching him constantly for a sequel to his film. It appears that fans too want a second film from Cruise and Liman.

If such a film ever happens, it would be the perfect way to balance his current filmography. Cruise’s iconic IP, the Mission: Impossible films, are dropping in popularity with the last film making a financial loss for Paramount.

Tom Cruise’s Fans Want One Sequel That Could Make Him The No. 1 Box Office Star Again

Edge of Tomorrow was one of those projects where Tom Cruise was ready to experiment with new types of roles. The otherwise daring actor on screen played a more cowardly role in the film, even surprising director Doug Liman . It was also the last time he worked with Warner Bros. before he made a deal with the studio in 2024.

“There was very little to the character”: Even Tom Cruise Fans Will Bow Down to Val Kilmer for How He Made Top Gun Interesting After Finding His Role Totally Bland

The 2014 film was a high-concept thriller that many fans of the actor absolutely loved and has since been demanding a sequel. However, Cruise, Liman, and WB never got around to making the sequel in the decade following the release of the film. Interestingly, Liman revealed the other day that the studio has been pushing for a sequel for some time now. He shared with Total Film :

Edge of Tomorrow, there’s no better compliment than Warner Bros. constantly bringing up, ‘Will you go and make another one of these?’

Cruise played the role of Major William Cage, who relives the same day again and again, thus gaining the combat skills to fight an alien invasion. He gets help from a seasoned warrior Rita Vrataski, played by Emily Blunt . The film did a decent job at the box office too, receiving positive reviews and making $370.5 million ( via Box Office Mojo ).

The Top Gun actor’s new deal with WB has reignited the fans’ interest in the project. According to the deal , they would jointly produce “original and franchise theatrical films” . Many fans deemed Edge of Tomorrow as franchise-worthy material. The new franchise will also help Cruise to establish a footing after his latest Mission: Impossible film failed to make a box office impact.

Tom Cruise May Want Another Franchise For Redemption After Mission: Impossible 7  Loss

Tom Cruise and Paramount didn’t expect the financial setback faced by Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning . With each entry in the franchise, the trend showed a rise in the box office appeal until the seventh film. Dead Reckoning could only collect $567 million during its theatrical run despite its largely positive reviews ( via The Numbers ).

In comparison, Ghost Protocol and Rogue Nation made $694 million and $688 million respectively. The sixth film Fallout became the highest-grossing film in the franchise with an impressive collection of $791 million. While the numbers of Dead Reckoning appear to be decent , it is notable that the film was one of the most expensive films ever made with a production budget of $290 million.

After Starring Alongside Tom Cruise and Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly’s One Ballsy Career Move Has Cemented Her Place as the Reigning Queen of Streaming

According to Variety , the film made financial losses for Paramount in the range of $40 million. Many movie experts cite the Barbenheimer phenomenon as a major reason that trounced the film at the box office. Barbie was released only a week after the seventh MI film and the marketing efforts of the Greta Gerwig film outmatched Cruise’s film.

Edge of Tomorrow is available for streaming on Max. Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning and other films in the franchise are now available for streaming on Paramount+.
