Tom Cruise doesn’t make a lot of sequels, with Mission: Impossible‘s Ethan Hunt the one role of his career he’d played at least twice, with Jack Reacher being the only other outlier until Top Gun: Maverick came along.
Not that there hadn’t been overtures made in the decades since Tony Scott’s 1986 original first rocketed the young star to the top of the Hollywood A-list, a position he’s held onto ever since. It turned out to be the smartest move of the star’s career to agree to a return as Pete Mitchell, with Maverick ranking as the biggest box office hit of his career by some distance.
