Tom Cruise : Is he focusing too much on action films?

Is he focusing too much on action films?

Seems like he's been doing a lot of action films lately. I like a good action film as much as anyone else ("Edge of Tomorrow" was pretty dang good) but should he break this rhythm for a while and do some good old fashion drama(s)?

Re: Is he focusing too much on action films?

He has American Made, a smaller-scale drama, coming out next year.

Presumably, he's getting his action films out before his body can't pull it off anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if M:I-6, Edge of Tomorrow 2 and Methuselah are his final laps in the action/sci-fi/fantasy genres.

Re: Is he focusing too much on action films?

True Cruise will get into Drama/Comedy mode some time later say 2-3 years from now
Maybe after 2019 considering EoT2 is being developed and Methuselah also in consideration

Re: Is he focusing too much on action films?

Fingers crossed! Hopefully he'll return to dramas soon.

Re: Is he focusing too much on action films?

Kinda next year with American Made (MENA) which Crime Drama Thriller genre! which should pave path for cruise into dramas!

Re: Is he focusing too much on action films?

This is exactly it. Look at Stallone and Arnie, also having a resurgence of action movies before they're too old to do them anymore. Stallone with Rocky Balboa (2006), Rambo (2008) and of course the Expendables films which I think are terrible but they still require some physical effort from him. He was born in 1946, even with all that physical training he soon wont be able to pull films like that off anymore. Schwarzenegger was born in 47 and he did Terminator Genysis in 2015, upcoming Conan film in 2017/2018, I think he is in better shape than Stallone considering he was the world champion bodybuilder at one point. But he too wont be able to do any action roles like this in a few years. I hope to see just one more good action film from him besides Conan or another Terminator, something original in the vein of Predator (for its time), that would be amazing.
Anyway Tom Cruise was born in in 1962 so he is still much younger than the other two. Look at some of his upcoming films though: Top Gun 2, The Mummy (action role presumably), Mission Impossible 6, Luna Park (film about space pirates). I think hes also doing a lot of these action roles now while he still has full potential.

Not to be pedantic but some of his movies have been science-fiction movies and some have been straight action films. I like him in both types of films and that is what many fans have come to want to see him in.

How about doing a Television Series to fill the void

Re: Is he focusing too much on action films?

A limited series would definitely be a new realm for him. And it'll undoubtedly get him an Emmy.
