Cruise reflected on the development process for 'Top Gun: Maverick', which took 35 years to come to fruition.

"It took me 35 years to figure out Top Gun: Maverick, so all of these things we're working on, we're discussing Days of Thunder and Top Gun: Maverick," he explained, as quoted by Deadline.

The sequel to the original 1986 film surpassed USD 1.4 billion worldwide and earned an Oscar nomination for Best Picture.

Cruise emphasised his busy schedule, with multiple films in various stages of production.
