While this new partnership will represent their closest relationship yet, Cruise is no stranger to working with Warner Bros. His past filmography with the production company includes Edge of Tomorrow, Rock of Ages, The Last Samurai, Magnolia, Eyes Wide Shut, Interview with the Vampire, Risky Business, and The Outsiders. This filmography arguably includes two of Cruise’s most iconic dramatic roles: his Oscar-nominated Magnolia and Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut.

Cruise’s history with Warner Bros. also shows off the actor’s huge range. While Magnolia sees Cruise in a more conventional dramatic role, Edge of Tomorrow sees the actor as a sci-fi action star. This varied history makes the partnership with Warner Bros. all the more exciting, for they could produce a wide range of potential projects.

Outside this partnership, Cruise also has an project in Mission: Impossible 8, which is set for release in 2025.
