Tom Cruise joins forces with Glen Powell at ‘Twisters’ premiere in London

Tom Cruise and Glen Powell have once again joined forces, this time at the European premiere of Powell’s new film “Twisters” in London. The duo, who previously worked together on the blockbuster hit “Top Gun: Maverick,” were spotted together at the Cineworld Leicester Square holding buckets of popcorn and enjoying the screening of Powell’s latest project.

Powell took to Instagram to share a photo of himself with Cruise, referring to him as his “wingman” as they braved the storm at the premiere. The reunion comes two years after Powell’s breakout role in “Top Gun: Maverick” alongside Cruise, where he played Lt. Jake “Hangman” Seresin. The film went on to become a massive success, grossing almost $1.5 billion globally and solidifying Powell’s place in Hollywood.

Rumors of a third installment in the “Top Gun” franchise have been circulating since the release of “Maverick,” with Powell hinting at his possible involvement in the project. Speaking at a panel for “Hit Man” at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, Powell remained tight-lipped about the potential sequel, stating that it was all “classified.”

Despite the uncertainty surrounding his future with the franchise, Powell remains grateful for the opportunity to work with Cruise and develop a close friendship with the Hollywood legend. Powell even earned a coveted spot on the list of actors who receive a special cake from Cruise every year, a tradition that Powell jokingly refers to as his “Cruise Cake Party.” According to Powell, the cake is “the most delicious” and is eagerly awaited by his friends each year.

As Powell continues to navigate the world of blockbuster films and high-profile projects, his bond with Cruise remains a constant source of support and inspiration. Whether or not he returns for the next “Top Gun” installment, Powell’s collaboration with Cruise has undoubtedly left a lasting impression on both his career and personal life.

In the glamorous world of Hollywood, partnerships like the one between Tom Cruise and Glen Powell serve as a reminder of the importance of camaraderie and mutual respect in the cutthroat entertainment industry. As fans eagerly await their next collaboration, one thing is certain: when Cruise and Powell team up, magic happens on the silver screen.
