Tom Cruise accepts MTV award for ‘Top Gun’ while flying jet
Tom Cruise has become somewhat of a spokesperson for the film industry. Steven Spielberg famously praised him for “saving” the movie industry during COVID times and lockdown. So his opinion is highly sought after.
So then, DC Studios have been graced with some wonderful words of encouragement about their new superhero movie this week, it has been reported.
Cruise is just a matter of weeks away from releasing his latest film, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, but recently carved out some time to watch The Flash ahead of its release in cinemas.
In a conversation with Variety, The Flash producer Barbara Muschietti confirmed Cruise called her and her husband, Andy Muschietti (the film’s director) to praise their work.
“If anything,” Andy said. “[We got] more confidence in the thing that we did, because the movie was finished by the time that [Cruise and King] saw it.”
Andy added that having Cruise and author Stephen King praise The Flash was a “confidence boost”.
Barbara agreed: “It’s a very cynical industry, and to hear people that really have no skin in the game, because they have nothing to gain, just say something that lovely.”
Speaking about Cruise calling them, Barbara said: “He called us, talked for 15 minutes, praising Andy, praising the film, and it just feels very good because we really work very hard to make these movies.”

Cruise isn’t the only star to have praised The Flash for its storytelling.
The aforementioned legendary author, Stephen King, chimed in on Twitter in recent weeks.
He said of the picture: “This one is special. It’s heartfelt, funny, and eye-popping. I loved it.”

The Flash has taken over cinemas at the moment, but once Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One hits the big screen, it’ll no doubt be a box office hit.
Cruise has put his money where his mouth is, though; he produced the picture and carried out some truly death-defying stunts to bring the movie to life.
He recently told Empire: “It’s never the easy road. I have a responsibility to audiences, the studio, my crew, my cast and industry. We can’t compromise just because all of these things happened. I can’t compromise the storytelling.”
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One hits cinemas on July 11.
