The actor also revealed that he personally called theatre owners during the production of the film to ensure that the new sequel would be screened at theatres instead of debuting on a streaming platform. According to the actor, films in the current landscape are automatically pressured to join the streaming sphere but Cruise did everything to stop it. While talking about the sequel, Tom Cruise maintained that he was adamant about preventing the new sequel from debuting on streaming platforms because he still believes films are meant for theatres.

Much has been made of Tom's insistence on real flying scenes, with no CGI work. They really got on well – but as the latest film winds down they've decided to go back to being friends.

The pair are believed to have fallen for each other while filming one of the two upcoming Mission Impossible films – before breaking up.

They really got on well – and they’re obviously both very good-looking Hollywood stars so it made for a good match. It’s a shame, but just one of those things. It’s a big step for them.”

Love the royals? The royal couple attended the London premiere tonight, which is taking place as a Royal Film Performance, and were able to meet the rest of the cast. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge hit the red carpet with Hollywood star Tom Cruise at the royal premiere of Top Gun: Maverick tonight.

At a time when superheroes dominate the box office, the film industry hopes the actor can bring grown-ups back to theaters.

“He is the guy that’s not trying to occupy the I.P. He’s trying to tell a compelling story that just ends up becoming the I.P. because it’s so good,” Mr. Powell said. Mr. Cruise is also the reason Mr. Powell is in the film. In the past decade, Mr. Cruise starred in original titles like “American Made,” “Oblivion,” and “Edge of Tomorrow”— all movies that played up his action bona fides. Glen Powell, one of Mr. Cruise’s co-stars in “Top Gun: Maverick,” cites him as one of the reasons he pursued acting. His reboot of “The Mummy,” which was supposed to jump start Universal Pictures’ monster movie series, was a disappointment for the studio, generating only $80 million in domestic receipts. Will Smith, in his 2021 memoir, affectionately called Mr. Cruise a “cyborg” when it came to his endurance on the promotional circuit. “It’s Batman. It’s Spiderman. It’s very different,” he said in an interview from Cannes. “And it’s not just because a lot of these characters are hidden by a mask and tights and a cape. “‘Top Gun’ is certainly going to bring out the audience of 40 and over and momentum builds momentum.” A big box office showing for “Top Gun: Maverick,” would depend in no small part on the over-40 crowd. Instead, his promotional tour for “Top Gun: Maverick,” which opens on May 27, will last close to three weeks and extend from Mexico City to Japan with a stop in Cannes for the annual film festival. The actor still commands first dollar gross, which means that in addition to a significant upfront fee, he receives a percentage of the box office gross from the moment the film hits theaters. Gesturing to the spectacle around him, including the crowd of fans and media members, Mr. Cruise said: “This moment right here, to see everybody at this time, no masks.

Last Christmas, Tom Cruise sent me two cakes. This week, I went to the Top Gun: Maverick premiere to repay him. Here is my story.

Tom Cruise did a nice thing for me, so I still maintain that I need to do a nice thing back. The closest I got to him, in fact, was when the film began. Plus, Thursday was one of the hottest days of the year. Top Gun: Maverick is a huge film for Tom Cruise. It’s a sequel, 36 years in the making, to one of his most iconic hits. What if I attended the event, with an elaborate cake that I had baked myself, and presented it to Tom Cruise? The place was crowded beyond all comprehension, both with screaming Tom Cruise fans and tourists irritated that they had to go the long way round to Burger King. And, at least in the eyes of my employers, the premiere presented the perfect opportunity to redress the balance.

I said, 'I need to find the right story. The actor had said in many interviews in the lead up to the film's release that he refused to even consider a sequel unless they flew real planes.

After the Cannes premiere of Top Gun: Maverick, cruise was awarded a surprise Palme d'Or. About time - there's no-one in Hollywood quite like him, ...

Top Gun (1986) would prove the most pivotal in his early career, though, with an enormous box office gross – over $300m – that put it at the top of the pile in the year of its release. After a stint of being outspoken about his more outlandish views (including an episode in 2005 when he attacked psychiatry and the use of antidepressants), his PR seems to have gone into overdrive to protect him from the fallout. At Cannes, I watched hundreds of fans wait for hours just to catch a glimpse of him on the red carpet, and even the most hardened film critics couldn’t help but be impressed by the sheer star power on display (not to mention the fighter jets). Even his poorer films (a remake of The Mummy, for example, or the interminable Rock of Ages) can’t seem to dim his wattage – his performances remain solid. He started out in the industry at 18, hungry and curious, winning a small part after his second ever audition. A movie star, after all, is more than just an actor – although the rare and the best of them exist in the Venn diagram of both.

The actor explained to the reporters present: "We have a lot in common. Cruise, who has been married three times before, was rumoured to be dating his Top Gun co-star. I love this country.” It took me a very long time to heal. At least for that period of time, it looked as though marriage wouldn’t fit into his overall spiritual need.” Actor Tom Cruise attended the premiere to Top Gun: Maverick with the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cambridge.
