Tom Cruise Boldly Ventures Into The Star Wars Universe

Tom Cruise Takes on the Star Wars Legacy

Tom Cruise, the ageless action star, is making waves with a special appearance in the eagerly awaited Star Wars: Starfighter. Known for his daring stunts and charismatic on-screen presence, Cruise adds his unique flair to this iconic franchise.

In a candid chat with The New York Times, director Shawn Levy spilled the beans on Cruise's involvement. The 63-year-old actor, truly embodying his daredevil spirit, performed his own stunts on the Star Wars set near London. Levy described Cruise as being knee-deep in mud and pond water, intensely focused on capturing the perfect shot. "Last week Steven Spielberg was here," Levy mentioned. "And now Tom Cruise is wielding a camera, ruining his very nice shoes."

A Star Behind the Camera

Cruise, initially just a spectator on set, was encouraged by Levy to try his hand at filming. What started as a light-hearted suggestion turned into a reality with Cruise stepping up to the challenge. He expertly handled the camera, capturing scenes of a lightsaber duel amidst the water. Levy couldn't help but admire Cruise's prowess, noting that part of the movie was shot by the Mission: Impossible star.

"Now when you see the movie, you’ll know that part of it was shot by Tom. I mean, how cool is that?" Levy remarked with enthusiasm.

Anticipation Builds for Star Wars: Starfighter

Star Wars: Starfighter, which also features the talents of Ryan Gosling and Mia Goth, is set to hit theaters in May 2027. With Cruise's unexpected involvement, fans are more excited than ever to see how his touch influences the film's dynamic. As one of Hollywood's most daring actors, his contribution will surely add a thrilling new dimension to the storied Star Wars saga.
