, saying that the studio wanted to make a sequel almost immediately, but he wasn’t ready. “In doing sequels I learned I can have a dialogue with an audience,” he said.was originally scheduled to come out in 2019, but was pushed back to 2020 in order to finish some of the film’s technical aspects. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the release was again delayed multiple times, until landing with this current release date of May 27.
For a conversation meant to focus on Cruise and his storied film career, the actor often turned the attention back onto the people he works with and the people he makes movies for: the audience. The 59-year-old actor, famous for doing dangerous sequences himself and a strong proponent of the theatrical film-going experience, admitted that he does get afraid when doing his own stunts, but that he made that choice to enhance the art form.
After the film, which sees Cruise’s Maverick return to Top Gun to train a group of Navy aviators ahead of a seemingly impossible mission, the crowd was gifted with one more treat on their way out: a lavish fireworks show. Cruise and his cast will jet off to London tomorrow for another premiere, but his whirlwind day in Cannes was one of the most celebratory events seen at the festival in many years. “Thank you for this time,” he told the crowd at the Théâtre Lumière. “I make these movies for all of you.”
