Tom Cruise: All New Movies Coming Out in 2025 and 2026

After his breakthrough with leading roles in ‘Risky Business’ and ‘Top Gun‘ in the 1980s, Thomas “Tom” Cruise Mapother IV started bagging pivotal roles in several dramas, including ‘Born on the Fourth of July,’ for which he even won a Golden Globe Award and got nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor. In the 1990s, he rose to newer heights of stardom by featuring in various commercially successful films, such as ‘A Few Good Men,’ ‘Interview with the Vampire,’ ‘The Firm,’ and ‘Jerry Maguire.’

Once he impacted dramas, he started traversing the action and sci-fi genres. By landing some iconic roles in the ‘Mission: Impossible’ film series, ‘Collateral,’ ‘Edge of Tomorrow,’ and ‘Top Gun: Maverick,’ he established himself as an action star, performing most of the risky stunts on his own. The winner of three Golden Globe Awards, four nominations for the Oscars, and an Honorary Palme d’Or, Tom Cruise is known to be one of the world’s highest-paid actors. Given his immense popularity and fandom, most of our readers are looking forward to his future projects. Here is a list of all the upcoming movies and TV shows of Tom Cruise!

1. Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (2025)

Tom Cruise jumped off a cliff on a motorbike for ‘Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One,‘ and the actor will be in action soon enough in its sequel, ‘Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.’ Helmed by Christopher McQuarrie, the upcoming spy action movie is the eighth installment in the ‘Mission: Impossible’ film series, with Cruise reprising his role as Ethan Hunt for the eighth time running.

Although the plot details are kept under wraps, the action-adventure film is most likely to resume Ethan’s hunt for The Entity as he meets some new friends and foes along the way. Alongside Cruise, we will also see Vanessa Kirby as The White Widow, Hayley Atwell as Grace, Simon Pegg as Benji Dunn, Angela Bassett as Erika Sloane, and Ving Rhames as Luther Stickell, Esai Morales as Gabriel, along with Tramell Tillman and Hannah Waddingham. The film has reached its post-production stage and will be released on May 23, 2025. You can watch the teaser trailer here.

2. Untitled Alejandro G. Iñárritu Film (2026)

Currently in production under the stewardship of Alejandro G. Iñárritu, the yet-untitled Warner Bros/Legendary Entertainment film will feature Cruise as the most powerful man in the world who causes a disaster and embarks on a mission to prove that he is the savior of humanity. Iñàrritu co-wrote the screenplay with Alexander Dinelaris, Sabina Berman, and Nicolas Giacobone. The cast also includes Jesse Plemons, John Goodman, Michael Stuhlbarg, Riz Ahmed, Sandra Hüller, and Sophie Wilde. The epic-scale project will be released on October 2, 2026.

3. Untitled Tom Cruise/SpaceX Project (TBA)

Tom Cruise is set to take his status as an action star to the next level by traveling out of Earth to film the first ever Hollywood motion picture in outer space. In May 2020, it was reported that Elon Musk’s Space X and Cruise were working on an action-adventure project with NASA. Not only is Cruise expected to be blasted into space alongside filmmaker Doug Liman, with whom he has previously worked in ‘American Made’ and ‘Edge of Tomorrow,’ but he will also live up to his reputation by attempting to do a space walk outside of the International Space Station. In this movie, Cruise is set to essay the role of a down-on-his-luck man who is the sole person in the position to save Earth. Based on an idea by Cruise, the story is written by Liman, P.J. van Sandwijk, and Christopher McQuarrie. More details regarding this project, which is currently in its pre-production stage, are highly anticipated.

4. Broadsword (TBA)

Cruise will star in Christopher McQuarrie’s war drama ‘Broadsword,’ alongside Marion Cotillard and Henry Cavill. Based on a story by McQuarrie and Erik Jendresen, the story is set during World War II and follows a marine sergeant who is the sole survivor of his aircraft after it crashlands in France. He soon teams up with a brave local girl, and we see them cover dangerous landscapes while dodging enemies with the hope to reach friendly territory. The Warner Bros. project has reached its pre-production phase and more details regarding production and release are awaited.

5. The Gauntlet (TBA)

Cruise will star alongside Scarlett Johansson in Christopher McQuarrie’s action film ‘The Gauntlet.’ The plot centers on Detective Shockley, who must transport a witness to testify against a mobster. Betrayed by corrupt cops, Shockley hijacks a bus and reinforces it, attempting to reach the court while being pursued by armed officers. The project has Clint Eastwood as a producer and is currently in its pre-production phase. No other regarding the film are available.

6. Top Gun 3 (TBA)

The sequel to Paramount Pictures’ ‘Top Gun: Maverick,’ is in the works. Tentatively titled ‘Top Gun 3,’ the project has Ehren Kruger (‘Top Gun: Maverick’ co-writer) onboard as the writer. Cruise will reprise his role as Maverick along with Miles Teller as Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw and Glen Powell as Jake “Hangman” Seresin. Currently, there are no more details about this film.

7. Deeper (TBA)

Cruise will star in Doug Liman’s upcoming supernatural thriller ‘Deeper’ for Warner Bros. Based on a story by Max Landis, the film will follow an astronaut who encounters a terrifying force while on a deep dive into a never-before-explored trench. Currently in its scripting stage, ‘Deeper’ is to reveal the rest of the cast and a release date.

8. Live Die Repeat and Repeat (TBA)

A sequel to the 2014 movie ‘Edge of Tomorrow,’ ‘Live Die Repeat and Repeat’ is an upcoming sci-fi film that will reportedly reunite Tom Cruise and director Doug Liman, with the former set to reprise his role as Major William Cage. Moreover, it is rumored that Emily Blunt will portray Rita again. Ever since the release of the hit original film, talks of a sequel have been flying around. However, in 2019, it was finally set in motion when Matthew Robinson was brought on to write the script.

Fast forward to a couple of years later, in a May 2021 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Emily Blunt revealed, “That was an amazing script, but I just don’t know what the future holds for it. I did read a script that was in really great shape, but it’s just a matter of if that can even happen now. I don’t have the straight answer on that one.” With the project still lingering in the development stage, it is hard to expect it to be brought to life in at least a couple of years.

9. Untitled Days of Thunder Sequel (TBA)

Cruise recently entered talks with Paramount Pictures to star in a sequel to his NASCAR drama ‘Days of Thunder.’ The original film, directed by the late Tony Scott, centers on the exploits of Cole Trickle (Cruise), a scrappy race car driver recruited to a new NASCAR team led by a retired racing legend, Harry Hogge (Robert Duvall). The project is in the early stages of development so it is far away from fruition.
