Tom Cruise Is an ‘Underestimated Actor’ Approaching a ‘Golden Age,’ Says Oscar Winner

by

As a passionate gamer, I’ve always admired Tom Cruise on the silver screen. Yet, listening to fellow artist and cinematic maestro Kenneth Branagh, it feels like there’s a whole other dimension to him – a depth that goes beyond just being an actor.

What did Kenneth Branagh say about Tom Cruise?

In a recent chat with The Times of London (as reported by Variety), Branagh, who collaborated with Cruise on the 2008 historical thriller “Valkyrie,” lauded Cruise as an “underrated performer.” He expressed his hope that one day Cruise will take on a role that showcases his versatility beyond being just a typical movie star.

If his fascination with thrilling the world through action ever wanes, people will be taken aback to discover he’s more than just a movie star,” Branagh stated. “His work on Mission: Impossible and Top Gun is exceptional – it offers cinematic enjoyment with a meaningful purpose. However, his acting abilities are often overlooked. I believe a golden era of remarkable performances lies ahead for him.

Tom Cruise may be primarily recognized for his action-packed blockbuster films, but he’s also showcased his versatility in roles outside the action genre. Movies like A Few Good Men, Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut, Vanilla Sky, and others are examples of this diversity in his acting career.

As a fervent admirer of Tom Cruise’s craft, I’m thrilled to share that beyond the Mission: Impossible series, he’s slated to appear in Alejandro González Iñárritu’s upcoming, unnamed movie. A stellar ensemble, including Sandra Hüller, John Goodman, Michael Stuhlbarg, Jesse Plemons, Sophie Wilde, Riz Ahmed, Emma D’Arcy, Pip Torrens, and others, will grace the screen alongside Cruise in this film.
