There's an action movie fan's dream: A movie with Jason Statham Tom Cruise starring as a duo! What many don't know is that these two Action Movie Stars actually appeared in a movie together, way back in 2004!
You will need to look back into the history of these two big-name stars. It was a crime thriller film! While neither are traditionally cast as villains, the Collateral Movie shows Tom Cruise as the cold-blooded assassin, and Jason Statham, in an unnamed role! Tom Cruise Collateral makes him a chilling hitman, while Jason Statham plays a shadowy criminal, leading to one scene in the airport.
Sadly, it wasn't a full-on movie crossover like a Mission Impossible meets Fast and Furious film. The appearance by Jason Statham was brief, lasting for only one scene, where their characters share the screen. That's right! They both meet for the first time at the airport.
This unlikely pairing may seem strange at first, especially when thinking about how different Jason Statham Action Movies are from Tom Cruise Action Movies! One of the movie's biggest moments features Tom Cruise interacting with a mystery man, the possible Frank Martin The Transporter! They swap luggage, with each giving nods to criminal affiliations! Some believe it's part of the larger criminal underworld the two stars have acted in.
It's just a quick meeting, and no dialogue! It gives the impression that they know each other well. It's a memorable meeting and makes people wonder what they were doing, who the character is, and what a full-fledged movie featuring Jason Statham and Tom Cruise would look like!
Sadly, it's a one-time encounter! Since 2004, they've appeared in some iconic movies and series. Fans will likely remember Tom Cruise from other iconic movies and Action Movie Franchises such as "Mission: Impossible," while Jason Statham is known for starring in action movies like "Fast and Furious" and "Hobbs and Shaw." This leads fans to constantly speculate on Action Movie Team Up that features both.
It's a huge mystery! Many fans believe this crossover would be a real treat and hope to see these screen legends share the screen in an incredible movie. There have been other Action Movie Franchises, as well as movies, like "The Beekeeper" where fans thought this might be a great opportunity for movie reunion, but they still haven't worked together again.
