He will also become the first civilian to ever spacewalk and will be considered a legendary actor for his dedication to the role.
After the recent news, fans took to Twitter to express their concerns for the actor’s well-being. It has been a long time assumed that Tom Cruise has indeed got a death wish as he manages to top his extreme stunts every single time.

It's not a death wish. He just like extreme sports & activities. Almost the same thing tho, but cool

Tom Cruise’s Next Movie Will Be Set In Space?
Director Doug Liman along with Donna Langley (the chairwoman of Universal Pictures), will be helming the project. The duo collaborated with Tom Cruise during Edge of Tomorrow (2014) and American Made (2017). Despite the shooting set in space, the film will be based on planet Earth only. The finale of the movie will see Tom Cruise rising through the clouds as he blasts off to space to save the planet. Doug Liman spoke about the idea of sending Tom Cruise into space.
“When a producer proposes something crazy to you, like, let’s try to shoot a movie in outer space, and NASA and SpaceX sign on, and Tom Cruise signs on… you’re just a little bit more receptive,”
The Bourne Identity director further continued,
“We have a great project in development with Tom, that does contemplate him doing just that. Taking a rocket up to the space station and shooting and hopefully being the first civilian to do a spacewalk outside of the space station.”
It is rumored that the project is having a budget range around the ballpark of 200 million dollars as the movie would surely be expected to earn well after shooting scenes in actual space. There have been no plot details announced so far.
