Tom Cruise's 'Top Gun: Maverick' Trends Across Four Major Streamers

Tom Cruise is undeniably the most recognized action star in the world. Year after year, the actor has worked hard and harder to bring us stories and stunts that make the trip to theatres worthwhile, making him Hollywood's most bankable star. In recent years, he finished his long-running Mission: Impossible franchise, and fans were very eager to see his next step.

And that next step brings him back to an adult-oriented character drama after years of leading action franchises. Cruise will next be seen in Digger, his first collaboration with celebrated director Alejandro G. Iñárritu. This is a combination fans never expected but are excited for; the movie will see him as an aging oil tycoon, Digger Rockwell, who accidentally triggers a catastrophic global ecological disaster. In a bid to clean up his mess, the frantic billionaire then embarks on a chaotic mission to prove he is humanity's savior. With a brilliant premise, Digger is one movie to watch out for.

The promotions have begun, and a previous trailer shows an unrecognizable Cruise who has gotten into the skin of the character with help of facial prosthetics, a padded bodysuit, wrinkles, and grey hair. It’s a complete detachment from his “action star” persona and is one of the most alluring facts about the film. While we are days away from Cruise’s new avatar, fans are preparing to see the feature by revisiting his other classics.

The classic in question is Top Gun: Maverick, the highly anticipated sequel to his aviation actioner, which came three decades after the original in a post-pandemic world, and has a legacy that goes beyond what’s on-screen. Top Gun: Maverick brought fans back to theaters in the most volatile times the business has ever seen. Its success literally made Cruise a savior of Hollywood when the movie business suffered in a post-pandemic world. The 96% Rotten Tomatoes-rated feature earned over $1.4 billion at the global box office on a $170 million budget and has been a streaming favorite over the years. And fans' love is now catapulting it to new heights.
