New York: Real life action man Tom Cruise could be blasted off into space to perform a spacewalk for an upcoming film, becoming the first civilian to do so.
Universal chairwoman Dame Donna Langley hinted at the future movie, which would see the 60-year-old Hollywood actor making history at the International Space Station if all goes to plan.
The British film executive, 54, said Tom would be flown into space before disembarking from the rocket. All of this would be caught on camera for the film.
It would be one of the many amazing things the Top Gun star has done for the silver screen – from learning how to fly planes, abseiling down the tallest building in the world and scaling cliffs.
Langely — who is the first British woman to run a major American film studio — added she hopes Cruise will be “the first civilian to do a spacewalk outside of the space station.”
Cruise and Liman brought this idea to Langley through a Zoom call during the pandemic.
Although the film is still in its early stages, she pointed out the movie industry is attempting to get back to pre-pandemic levels.
The “Top Gun” actor heading to space is still on an “aspiration” level, according to the media outlet.
Before COVID-19 impacted the world, the Space Shuttle Almanac announced it was preparing for Cruise and Liman to lift off into space.
