Nothing is impossible for Tom Cruise. The Hollywood actor, who has made it his mission to save movie theaters from bankruptcy and encourage people to go to theaters to see the latest feature films, takes his role very seriously. This honorary role of “savior of cinema”, which director Steven Spielberg himself attributed to him thanks to the resounding success of Top Gun: Maverick, is particularly close to his heart. In this sense, Tom Cruise has tried, through his films, to offer ever more interesting cinematic experiences for the public, in order to encourage them to break away from streaming services and go to cinemas .

The protagonist of the sagas Impossible mission And Top Gun goes even further in this project, going so far as to promote and recommend three films to see at the cinema this summer, even though they will enter into direct competition with the film in which he plays the main role, Mission: Impossible 7, which is scheduled to be released in theaters on July 12. The 60-year-old actor thus positions himself almost as a film critic, and, after having highly recommended a superhero film currently in theaters, he did not hesitate to give his opinion on another long-awaited release. Tom Cruise surprised everyone by promoting the cult adventure saga Indiana Jonesincluding the last part entitled Indiana Jones and the Clock of Destiny was unveiled last Wednesday in cinemas. The American actor thus congratulated Harrison Ford for his interpretation of the adventurer Indy, and for his longevity (more than 40 years!) in the skin of one of the most iconic characters in the history of cinema.

In Mission Impossible 7, the indestructible Tom Cruise is afraid of nothing except the future

At the very beginning of Top Gun: Maverick, the ultra-lucrative sequel to Tony Scott’s film released in 2022, the hierarchical superior of the hero played by Tom Cruise warned him. Intrepid pilots of his species, the hotheads of the air, were on the verge of extinction, threatened by the increasingly ruthless competition of technology. Soon they would be replaced by machines, cold and devoid of all emotion, systematically obeying the orders given to them. A pessimistic forecast to which Pete “Maverick” Mitchell then responded with his characteristic casualness: “Perhaps so, sir, but not today”. This short exchange, over-commented on and analyzed by a good number of journalists as an obvious echo of the career of Tom Cruise and his constantly contested aura, made us smile but also reflected a certain anxiety in the superstar, that of a future on which he has no control over.

Faced with the growing place given to algorithms and other artificial intelligence in the creative space, what would happen to those who, like the actor, have tried all their lives to keep intact the brilliance of the cinema with which they were born? ? Top Gun: Maverick, more melancholic than brazen, did not rule on this question. But Joseph Kosinski’s film employed all its striking force in the idea that, for there to be belief in cinema, there must be an almost supernatural investment of its artisans in their creation – multiplying the cascades and the high aerobatics, in search of the kinetic thrill, was the illustration of this. That at the time of superheroic franchises, canned at the same rate as a can at the factory, the spectator could only see the difference in the face of the diktat of the green screen and the infectious digital rejuvenation. The gamble had paid off but perhaps its success had only been based on the nostalgic joy of spectators at rediscovering a cinema that many felt had been buried for a long time. Something romantic for some, puritanical for others, both joyful and perfectly anachronistic.

Mission Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1, the seventh part of the saga, confirms what we previously glimpsed about Tom Cruise. Already, the actor remains insatiable, as if transcended by the acquisition of this new status of “savior of Hollywood” awarded by Steven Spielberg himself. The sharp turnaround at the end of the 2000s and the few barrels during the following decade now seem like distant memories. Also, although he tries to make us believe the opposite, like the good conjurer he has become, time has a hold on him. Now aged 61, the all-powerful producer of the spy franchise is working, within the story that transformed him into a Hollywood icon, a second narrative thread which now takes up all the space in this new film: that of a hero who has run out of enemies, having no choice but to fight with himself or almost invisible threats. In 2013, oblivion already orchestrated the fight between Tom Cruise and his clone. Ten years later, Tom Cruise is pursuing a faceless enemy, a demiurgic power called The Entity. This has no form, only a mercenary at its service, and anticipates each of the moves imagined by agent Ethan Hunt and his acolytes.

The car driven by Tom Cruise in Rome in Mission Impossible 7 is the one we all dream of having to go on vacation this summer

Tom Cruise never stops. In Mission: Impossible 7, the 61-year-old actor once again demonstrates his love for well-done stunts… by himself. Always at the top of his form thanks to meticulous training, he leaves it to no one to hang himself in the void, to fight on a speeding train, to jump on a motorbike from a cliff (precisely to land on a train), to get into a plane in mid-flight (then to exit with a parachute a short distance from the ground), to climb buildings like the glass wall of the Burj Khalifa in Mission: Impossible 4 (which is on the podium of the best films of the saga, in our opinion), to ride a motorcycle like a madman in the streets of Paris or to jump from building to building, always in Paris, at the risk of breaking an ankle. In short, Tom Cruise does everything in Impossible mission (as in his other action films). And it obviously continues in Mission: Impossible: Dead Reckoning, part 1seventh feature film with agent Ethan Hunt at the helm.

If you have already seen the film released on July 12, there is one thing that is indisputable: you have been amazed. This allowed you to forget the soporific Indiana Jones 5 with Harrison Ford and to experience real action scenes interspersed, it is true, with slightly longer (and therefore very forgettable) moments during which the characters in the film exchange their thoughts on their lives, their memories, their regrets. In Mission: Impossible: Dead Reckoning, part 1, Tom Cruise is looking for a magic key. He’ll start looking for her in the big Abu Dhabi airport, relying on his cool aviator sunglasses to catch everyone’s eye. But it won’t be enough. He will soon have to go to Rome to further accomplish his mission.

Tom Cruise almost played this cult cinema character ultimately played by Johnny Depp

Tom Cruise is one of the biggest stars in Hollywood today. From the 1980s, the actor managed to make a name for himself in the world of cinema, thanks to commercial successes like Top Gun or through deeper roles as in Rain Hand or in Born on the 4th of July. The 90s finally marked a turning point in his career since the actor then launched into action cinema, with Impossible mission. But his career, now very impressive, could have taken a completely different turn. Indeed, the irresistible Tom Cruise, before playing Agent Ethan Hunt in the 90s, was considered to play another cult role, ultimately played by Johnny Depp.

Tom Cruise could have played this cult role for Tim Burton, instead of Johnny Depp

It was during a retrospective dedicated to one of Tim Burton’s cult films, Edward Scissorhands and an interview with the site Dazed that the anecdote was revealed by screenwriter Caroline Thompson. She returned to the casting, explaining that several actors, including Jim Carrey and Tom Hanks, had shown interest in this romantic gothic character. Ultimately, other actors were chosen. Among them, Johnny Depp, Robert Downey Jr., but also Tom Cruise.

However, the screenwriter then explained, still during the interview, that Tom Cruise ultimately did not meet the criteria and did not fit the tortured character of Edward. Indeed, the Hollywood actor kept asking questions about this role, for which the film team had no answers: “Cruise wanted to know how Edward went to the bathroom. He was asking the kind of questions that don’t apply to this character! That’s part of the delicacy of this story, we can’t answer ‘How does he shower, or how can he live for years without eating?’. Tom Cruise clearly didn’t want to be in a movie without answers to these questions.”

The rest is known to everyone: Johnny Depp obtains the role which marks the beginning of his fruitful collaboration with Tim Burton. The actor in fact became in the following years the muse of the director, who gave him the main role in many of his productions, such as Sweeney Todd, Charlie and the chocolate factory or Alice in Wonderland.

So no Tom Cruise at Tim Burton. Which is ultimately a blessing in disguise, since since this director’s choice, the now 61-year-old actor has made a name for himself in action cinema. He thus led the Mission: Impossible franchise with an iron fist, as evidenced by the last installment, Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 1currently in the cinema, transforming it, thanks to strong plots and impressive stunts (which he often performs himself) into a real phenomenon.
