As one of the biggest adrenaline junkies in Hollywood, the question is where can Tom Cruise get his next kicks? Top Gun: Maverick and Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckonings Death-defying stunts seem to be by literally going out of this world. The action star takes to the stars to make his next film project, with part of the movie finale expected to take place on and off the International Space Station. If everything goes according to plan, Cruise will become the first civilian to make such a spacewalk.
Tom Cruise has had quite the year, having seen Top Gun: Maverick break countless records as it became the highest grossing film of the year and nearly of the past three years. In addition, he has filmed for his next and reportedly last outing as Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible 7 & 8and while you might think the 60-year-old would like to take it easy, it seems he’s planning to push himself to new heights instead.
Donna Langley, president of the Universal Filmed Entertainment Group, has already earned herself qualifications in skydiving, as a helicopter and airplane pilot, pushing herself further than many actors would ever dream of making a film as dramatic and real as possible. . BBC that Cruise is about to develop his daring avenues even further for a potential new role. She said:
“Tom Cruise is taking us to space. He’s taking the world to space. That’s the plan. We have a great project in development with Tom that is considering him doing just that. Take a rocket to the space station and shoot and hopefully be the first civilian to take a spacewalk outside the space station.”
Will Tom Cruise really be the first civilian to shoot a movie in space?
According to reports, Cruise’s potential journey out of Earth’s atmosphere would come through a partnership with Elon Musk’s SpaceX company, which has been responsible for numerous manned missions to the ISS. Although the new project is still in the development stage, but when it comes to this sort of thing, Tom Cruise is one of those people who tend to set their sights on something and not let go until they are satisfied.
Now that the project has already received a seal of approval from former NASA administrator Jim Bridenstein, for its potential to spark interest in an aerospace engineering for a whole new generation, and the idea that this is a unique groundbreaking opportunity to be the first Hollywood film. to actually film in space, it would be foolish to bet that Tom Cruise would take his first steps in space sometime in the not-too-distant future.
