According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cruise "believes he can work similar magic" to the follow-up to Top Gun, Top Gun: Maverick, which debuted to rave reviews and grossed over $1 billion at the box office.

The real exciting part about a movie like Oblivion is that it was Cruise in a new and original action movie, which had been a staple of his career for years. While we only have one Oblivion film, it is nice to see Cruise take on a different kind of sci-fi adventure in his filmography.

Sequels are a sore spot. Some are great, maybe even better, than the original film. But usually, they fall flat, creating a legion of lifelong haters. That didn’t stop Tom Cruise from making Top Gun: Maverick,
