Tom Cruise mostly focused on action blockbusters in recent years, but it seems he’s ready to take his career in a new direction. The four-time Oscar nominee landed a lead role in Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s next film, developed by Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment.

This top-secret project will mark Iñárritu’s first English-language film since The Revenant in 2015. No plot details are available right now, but he co-wrote the script alongside Sabina Berman, plus his Birdman collaborators Alexander Dinelaris and Nicolas Giacobone.

This is the first major project Cruise got attached to after signing a strategic partnership with Warner Bros last month. Despite making blockbuster tentpoles for most of his career, Cruise is no stranger to working with Hollywood’s leading auteurs such as Stanley Kubrick and Paul Thomas Anderson, and he’s finally ready to throw his hat into that ring again.

Iñárritu’s films led several actors to Oscar wins and nominations, and this project could potentially do the same for Cruise. He has three acting Academy Awards nominations under his belt, most recently for his supporting role in Magnolia in 2000. He also received the best picture nomination as a producer of Top Gun: Maverick, but it’s been over two decades since he’s been nominated for his work as an actor.

Tom Cruise made an epic comeback as Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell in Top Gun: Maverick, and he’ll soon get back into the cockpit! The beloved action superhero is set to return in the third film in the Top Gun franchise, which is in development at Paramount.

Top Gun: Maverick co-writer Ehren Kruger is working on the script for Top Gun 3, while Joseph Kosinski is tapped to return to the director’s chair. Paramount is also hoping that the young stars Miles Teller and Glen Powell would return alongside Cruise, but he’ll first have to sign off on the final version of the script.

Top Gun 3 isn’t the only project keeping Cruise busy. He’s also plotting the eighth Mission: Impossible film at Paramount and is attached to Doug Liman’s untitled space epic. He signed a non-exclusive deal with Warner Bros. just last week, agreeing to develop franchises and original movies for this studio.

Developing the sequel to Top Gun: Maverick is a no-brainer for Paramount, given the film’s commercial and critical success. With $1.496 billion grossed worldwide, this is the highest-grossing of Cruise’s career and the second-highest-grossing film of 2022 behind James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water. It’s also been nominated for six Academy Awards, including best picture.

Edge of Tomorrow attained a cult status shortly after its release in 2014, and fans of this ground-breaking action flick spent years waiting for its follow-up. It seems they won’t have to wait much longer as it’s finally been
officially announced that we’re getting a sequel.

The first film tells the story of public relations officer William Cage, who’s stuck in a time loop fighting alien invaders after being killed in combat. He comes across skilled warrior Rita Vrataski, who agrees to help him improve his fighting skills so they could defeat the extraterrestrial invaders.

Edge of Tomorrow starred Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt, who are both expected to return for the sequel, along with director Doug Liman. Nothing is confirmed just yet, but Liman seemed to be pretty enthusiastic about the potential sequel the last time he discussed the possibility of it.

“Tom and I sat down with Christopher McQuarrie, who was one of the writers of the original, and suddenly started hatching a story that I loved more than the original, which I never thought possible,” said Liman.

Matthew Robinson was in charge of writing the screenplay this time around, but it’s still unclear when we can expect it to hit the theaters.

McQuarrie is no stranger to the MI franchise or to working with Cruise. The filmmaker directed the last to movies in the series, Rogue Nation and Fallout who hauled $682.7 and $791.1 respectively in the global box office. He also previously worked with Cruise on the 2012 thriller Jack Reacher.

Tom Cruise played the titular character in two movies in the Jack Reacher franchise, but it seems he won’t be coming back. Lee Child, the author of the novels the action flicks are based on, said Jack Reacher will continue its life on TV, with a new actor in the lead role.

Despite praising the actor’s acting chops, Child had to admit Cruise didn’t have the physicality to play the part. Fans of his novels often complained he was too short, and the author finally admitted they were onto something.

“I really enjoyed working with Cruise. He’s a really, really nice guy. We had a lot of fun. But ultimately the readers are right. The size of Reacher is really, really important and it’s a big component of who he is,” explained Child.

It’s still unclear where the potential show would be pitched, but the writer said he’s thinking about approaching Netflix and working on a long-form streaming series. Whatever happens in the end, one thing is for sure – Cruise will no longer be playing Jack Reacher, and Child is determined to find the perfect guy to fill his shoes.

Paramount Pictures released a statement about Tom Cruise’s injury, saying, “During production on the latest Mission: Impossible film, Tom Cruise broke his ankle while performing a stunt. Production will go on hiatus while Tom makes a full recovery, and the film remains on schedule to open July 27, 2018.” Cruise has not addressed his injury, but the film studio said, “Tom wants to thank you all for your concern and support and can’t wait to share the film with everyone next summer.”

During the filming in London Saturday, Cruise, while wearing a safety harness, tried to run and jump from one platform onto another structure. But the actor missed the mark and slammed into the building, thus injuring himself in the process. Crew members immediately rushed to his aid as he hobbled around the set, according to E! News.

The 55-year-old actor likes doing his own stunts. “Whatever I can do to really put the audience in the scene with the character and in the movie, that’s what I want, so whatever it takes,” Cruise said to E! News in 2015. “Whatever it takes! I prefer to do everything live in camera. I think that…Look, CGI, we’re lucky to have it because it’s a tool, just like practical stunts are a tool. And it takes everyone. It takes a village making these movies. They’re incredible, top to bottom, these guys.”

At the time, Cruise, who has played Ethan Hunt since the first movie in 1996, joked that he’ll continue to star in Mission: Impossible franchise until he’s 90 years old.  “They’ll be throwing me out of planes in my wheelchair at that point,” he said. “So, whatever it takes, we’ll keep going!”

That same year, the action star revealed why he’s always been willing to take big risks on the movies. “For different films, whether it’s an action movie or not, making a movie is very demanding,” he said. “I’m constantly training for one thing or the other.”

Mission: Impossible 6 also stars Alec Baldwin, Angela Bassett, Sian Brooke, Henry Cavill, Rebecca Ferguson, Sean Harris, Vanessa Kirby, Michelle Monaghan, Simon Pegg and Ving Rhames, written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie.
