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.’ 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. 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. Judy (October 2, 2026)
Currently in post-production under the stewardship of Alejandro G. Iñárritu, ‘Judy’ 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.

The epic-scale project will be released on October 2, 2026.
2. Deeper (TBA)
Cruise and Ana de Armas will star in Doug Liman’s upcoming supernatural thriller ‘Deeper’ for Warner Bros. Based on a story by Max Landis, the film will follow a disgraced astronaut who encounters a terrifying force while on a deep dive into a never-before-explored trench. What was supposed to help him get rid of his depression turns into a surreal exploration that brings him face-to-face with a new version of himself, but this happens only after he meets legendary French explorer Marion alive on the ocean floor. Filming is underway, and a release date is awaited.
3. 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 crash-lands in France. He soon teams up with a brave local girl, and we see them cover dangerous landscapes while dodging enemies with the hope of reaching friendly territory. The Warner Bros. project has reached its pre-production phase, and more details regarding production and release are awaited.
4. 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 information regarding the film is available.
5. 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) on board 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.
6. 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.
7. 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 from fruition.
