-You saved Hollywood’s ass. You probably saved theatrical distribution. Seriously – he helped save the entire cinema industry – Steven Spielberg said about Tom Cruise and his film “Top Gun: Maverick”. Thanks to the fact that the actor and producer in one person insisted on not showing the production on streaming services and waiting for the opening of cinemas after the lockdown, the film industry survived in much better condition than it could have happened.
The highest-grossing film in Tom Cruise’s career
“Top Gun: Maverick” grossed $1.496 trillion worldwide and is the highest-grossing production of Cruise’s career. It was also in second place in the ranking of the highest-grossing films of 2022 (“Avatar” is in first place). No wonder the creators are hungry for more. All the more so because for the continuation of the 1986 production they won an Oscar only for sound, although they had as many as six nominations, including for best film.
As reported by Deadline, screenwriter Ehren Kruger, responsible for the production from two years ago, is currently writing a draft of the next part. It is said that the project will reunite actors Cruise, Miles Teller and Glen Powell, as well as producers Jerry Bruckheimer and David Ellison. According to press reports, Joe Kosinski, the director of “Top Gun: Maverick”, will also be a director or producer.
It may turn out that the return of Maverick will be the next project for Cruise, who is currently working on the set of the eighth part of “Mission: Impossible”. Marcin Dorociński is also scheduled to appear in it. In connection with, among others, Due to the strike of scriptwriters and actors last year, we will not see this title in cinemas in June 2024. The premiere has been moved to May 23 next year.
