This collaboration promises great things: Director and Oscar winner Alejandro González Iñárritu wants to bring Tom Cruise in front of the camera as the lead actor for his next film.
For the Mexican, it would be the first English-language film since his success with “The Revenant”. The monumental revenge drama starring Leonardo DiCaprio earned him his second directing Oscar in 2016. The year before, he won the Academy Award for best director with “Birdman.” Most recently he shot the Netflix film “Bardo, the fictional chronicle of a handful of truths” (2022) in Mexico.
Cruise was seen on screen as secret agent Ethan Hunt in last year’s blockbuster “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One”. In 2022 he won at the box office with “Top Gun: Maverick” in the role of pilot Pete Mitchell aka Maverick. In 2020, the star and the US space agency NASA announced plans to film on board the International Space Station (ISS). Doug Liman (“The Bourne Identity”) is set to direct the space film. A date for this is not yet known.
