After Top Gun, is Tom Cruise back on an aircraft carrier yet?

Is Tom Cruise already nostalgic for Top Gun and its sequel, the aircraft carriers, which are vying for six Oscars after grossing nearly $1.5 billion worldwide and “saving Hollywood bread” according to Steven Spielberg?

According to the Film Commission of Apulia, which confirms the statements of the Italian press, the star has recently returned there for the needs of another film.

Not the yet-to-be-announced third Top Gun , but the eighth Mission: Impossible , due to hit us on June 26, 2024, which was supposed to have been shooting since last December.

But Tom Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie offered each other extra cash a few days ago on the US aircraft carrier, which is located near Bari and now in the heart of the Adriatic Sea.

“We are proud to have chosen Apulia as the base of operations for this very challenging shoot”– said the director of the commission, Antonio Parente variety. Without saying more about the nature of the shots.

Will we see Ethan Hunt fly a plane like Tom Cruise learned during pre-production on Top Gun: Maverick?

Currently, there is great mystery surrounding the feature film. More so than for the previous opus, which was expected in our cinemas on July 12, and for which we still know the main shooting locations. And in particular, Italy (Rome, Venice), which will therefore once again become the theater for the eighth (and final?) opus of the saga begun in 1996.

Titled Dead Reckoning – Part 1, the seventh is finally set to hit theaters this year after several delays. The plot, of course, is a mystery, but Ethan Hunt finds there an old acquaintance Eugene Kittridge (Henry Cherny), his former boss, the first mission: impossible. Which further indicates that the consequences of his actions will be on the agenda. Among some crazy stunts.
