Tom Cruise Celebrates Big Screen Action While Fans Praise His Support For Ana De Armas

Tom Cruise wasted no time in giving this mission for movie lovers anywhere in the world. The action star simply captioned it with that simple but selling Instagram phrase: ‘Your mission, should you choose to accept it: A weekend of action on the big screen.’ An oblique statement loaded with all things Cruise! The comments section exploded with love for Cruise’s latest Mission Impossible installment and his very public backing of girlfriend Ana de Armas in Ballerina.

He never gives down-to-earth, casual social media drops. Whenever Cruise posts, it has either been now death-defying stunt shots or an all-out celebration of the cinema. So now? Both. So there was instant analysis by the fans as to whether he was giving a shoutout to Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning, which several had called “amazing,” or simply backing Ballerina stars De Armas and Keanu in their campaign. Well? It is absolutely a typical Tom Cruise move to wear his powerful endorsement over ALL action flicks.

“The only star that actively promotes OTHER movies like Tom Cruise is none,” one wrote. “The man is truly someone who loves FILM.” This thought was greatly echoed in commentary. While most A-listers just promote their projects, Cruise actually promotes the idea of going to the movies itself. If you asked me, almost he’s human incarnate of that ‘movies are magic’ AMC intro.

But let’s get Ana-deep. Several comments highlighted how Cruise’s public backing of his leading lady shows a very human, almost surprisingly romantic side to the usually stony star. “Mr. Cruise is very romantic on his part,” one read. “This support and dedication to his girlfriend shows his affectionate side and proves that there is no rivalry between couples.” Others just added heart emojis alongside “openly promoting ana de armas movie.”

Well, the lovely vibes didn’t last. Looks like Ballerina mentions got a little spicy in the replies. One Spanish commenter dismissed the film as trash (“otra peli mala”), which provoked counterarguments like “bazofia es tu comentario” (translation: “trash is your comment”). Meanwhile, Mission Impossible stans had to belittle the two films by one-side frowning and asserting, “the right movie is WAYYY better.”

The real MVP moment? The official Ballerina movie account responded to that with: “Yeah, we’re thinking movies are back”—a slick John Wick reference that sent Keanu fans into madness. From there, began a whole thread of “hell yeahhhhhhh,” interspersed with one particularly sharp observation: “Not just any movies but Tom Cruise movies were never outta style!”

Amidst these and more, these two big demands for fans rose: 1) More gratitude for Cruise, the last true movie star, or savior of cinema, as many comments put it; and 2) EDGE OF TOMORROW 2 PLEASE. One hopeful fan put forth, “Join forces and give us Edge of Tomorrow 2,” which then spiraled into debates around whether Emily Blunt needs to come back. Classic internet.

The show of Cruise either hyping his own death-defying stunts or his girlfriend’s ballet assassin film turned into a celebration of what makes everyone go crazy for big screen action. The stuntman himself said, ‘Real stunt performers know-there isn’t really a movie. It’s inspiration in motion.’

If the man has a social media account, even the laugh of it is an instant mission-accepted vibe. Now pardon us while we book tickets for everything.
