Tom Cruise has always been a force to be reckoned with in the film industry, and his latest movie is no exception. The success of Top Gun: Maverick and the record-breaking box office sales it garnered have been attributed to Cruise’s unwavering support for the theatrical release. This has given him an unprecedented level of clout with the studio, which has enabled him to push the boundaries even further with Mission: Impossible 7.
A Childhood of Mischief and A Reputation for Daring Feats
Cruise’s love for high-adrenaline stunts can be traced back to his childhood, where he would ride his bike down hills as quickly as he could, hit ramps, and run over trash cans. He even admitted to stealing lumber from a junkyard and cutting it in half before going through the trash cans. It was these childhood experiences that led him to pursue a career in entertainment, where he could use every available resource and tool to entertain the audience.
With each new Mission: Impossible film, Cruise has established a reputation for pulling off a sequence of dramatic feats that only get more intense. From the jaw-dropping BASE jump scene in Mission: Impossible – Fallout to the amazing action scenario on a vintage train in Mission: Impossible 7, Cruise never fails to deliver heart-pumping moments that leave audiences on the edge of their seats.
A Champion of Theatrical Releases and A Cast of A-Listers
Tom Cruise has also made a name for himself as one of the most ardent supporters of the theatre. He was successful in persuading Paramount to delay selling Top Gun: Maverick to streaming services during the pandemic, and it paid off because the movie finally made close to $1.5 billion at international box offices. This has given him unprecedented influence with the studio, which has enabled him to continue pushing the boundaries of what is possible in film.
Mission: Impossible 7 boasts an all-star cast, including Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Hayley Atwell, Pom Klementieff, Shea Whigham, Cary Elwes, and Esai Morales. The movie is scheduled to be released on July 14, 2023, while Mission: Impossible 8 will hit theatres on June 28, 2024.
