It was a’total invention! Really, there’s no cut shot with Tom Cruise! But I love Tom Cruise and I told Kevin [Feige, boss dei Marvel Studios, ndr] at a certain point: we could have Tom Cruise for Iron Man? But I remember reading that thing in the Ain’t It Cool News at the time, that Tom Cruise was going to be Iron Man.
In short, the fans would also be right in wanting one of the few Hollywood stars able to replace Robert Downey Jr., but for now it’s just a fantasy. Not that for that Tom Cruise is not a superherogiven his willingness to give up the doubles in Top Gun: Maverick (in cinemas from 25 May) and next Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning – Part 1 (in theaters for summer 2023).
