Tom Cruise says he’s prepping for a new film— fans joke ‘Finally, a break from Mission Impossible.’

Tom Cruise has repeatedly proven that 60 is the new 16, wowing audiences with his death-defying stunts for over four decades. Unlike his recent action films, the 62-year-old superstar is now set for his next project.

In a recent interview with Deadline at the pre-BAFTA party, Tom Cruise revealed that he is starting prep for another film to be directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Alejandro G. Iñárritu.

“I’m editing a film [MI: The Final Reckoning], I’m shooting another [Iñárritu’s] and prepping the next one.”

The movie follows the story of the most powerful man in the world as he tries to prove he is humanity’s savior before his disaster destroys everything. The news has excited fans and sparked countless theories about what the film could be about.

Hilarious Fan Reactions

Many fans were seen coming up with hilarious theories about the movie. Let’s check some of them out.

"Sounds good. I was getting tired of the Mission impossible franchise movies," a fan commented.

The news comes as a refreshing change for many of Cruise’s fans, who have been hoping for quite some time to see their favorite star take on a different genre beyond his Mission: Impossible films.

"Elon Musk's biography?" asked a user.

It seems this user is humorously convinced that Tom Cruise is shooting Elon Musk’s biography. Was it the part about the character being humanity’s savior before his disaster destroys everything that led him to think so?

Top Gun: Maverick proved that a pandemic could not stop audiences from rushing to theaters to watch films. Given how massive a hit it was, this user wants to hear that Tom Cruise is secretly filming Top Gun 3 right now with Alejandro Iñárritu.

"Dude's saving the world one movie at a time, and apparently, he's got the schedule for it too...😁," another user joked.

Even Harvard scientists couldn’t crack the secret of how Tom Cruise does it all at his age - saving the world one movie at a time, back to back.

"It should be about him going to space or another planet and conquering it. I feel that's all he has to do next," expressed another fan.

As this fan points out, perhaps the only thing left for Tom Cruise is to star in a movie where he goes to space or another planet and conquers it. The man has practically done it all, truly living up to his last name.

Well, it looks like Tom Cruise has something new up his sleeve once again, never giving his fans even a single chance to be disappointed by whatever he does.
