Tom Cruise has given some commendable performances throughout his career, consisting of all the elements a real movie star should have. From action-packed entertainers to indie movies, he has done it all. While his fan base continues to be captivated by his performances, there’s a longing among some for Tom Cruise to delve into roles that authentically showcase his love for the craft.
Films like Born on the Fourth of July or Lions for Lambs are something the fans want him to return to. But will his new deal with Warner Bros. really allow him to do so? Fans are wondering what his plans are for the next decade.
What Does Tom Cruise Plan On Doing for the Next Decade With Warner Bros.?
Tom Cruise has recently struck a deal with Warner Bros. Despite having a long-standing relationship with Paramount, the actor chose WB for the security that Paramount wasn’t able to provide. Given that the actor is currently at a crucial point in his life now, that is at 61 years of age, the actor has an estimated maximum of 20 years of star power left in him.
Cruise would most certainly be the last of the ‘movie star’ species, whose name alone is enough to flock audiences to theaters. Thus, along with WB, sources reveal he plans to launch another big-budget saga. The actor already has several successful ones in his roster and wants to add one last blockbuster franchise to his list that will explode at the box office.
An unnamed executive, during an exclusive report by The Hollywood Reporter, suggested,
“He’s probably got another 10 or 20 years, maybe not hanging off buildings, but as a movie star,”
The actor has already received the green light for a “yet-to-be-identified project”, possibly an action-packed movie to kick off his collaboration with the studio. This endeavor is anticipated to become his life mission for the next decade, marking a new chapter in his career.
Why Do the Fans Want Him to Return to ‘Real Acting’?
His enthusiasm for making big-budget franchise films like Mission: Impossible might stem from his love for theaters and the desire to revive them. While films of this nature often enjoy significant commercial success, it was movies like Magnolia or Born on the Fourth of July that put him into the running for an Oscar.
Undeniably, there is no one who excels at action quite like Cruise. However, as time has progressed, it is evident that his fans have developed a particular fondness for seeing him in the realm of indie movies.
The primary desire among fans is to witness the actor take risks once more in the final decades of his Hollywood career. Rather than playing it safe, there’s a collective hope that Cruise can seize the opportunity to earn a shot at the Oscars.
