However, it’s not hard to see why Universal would be so eager to sign onto this secretive Tom Cruise blockbuster set in the stars.
As the Mission: Impossible franchise has proven, Cruise still has that star power that puts people into seats.
Not to mention, the hype surrounding Tom’s next film, Top Gun: Maverick, is pretty deafening, even when the film found itself delayed yet again to a debut slot a little over a year after it was intended.
Throw in Christopher McQuarrie’s involvement with this space movie, as a story advisor and producer, as well as Cruise’s success with Doug Liman with both Edge of Tomorrow and American Made, and you have a pretty solid formula for success on paper.
