In a departure from his usual roles, Chalamet embraced the action genre for the first time in Dune. Following the completion of filming the first installment of Denis Villeneuve's epic, Cruise extended his support and guidance to Chalamet in a touching gesture.
Speaking to GQ, the American actor explained: “After I met Tom Cruise, right after finishing the first Dune, he sent me the most wonderfully inspiring email”.
The core message in the email was how he should approach stunts and some contacts for stunt experts.

In 2022, Cruise made Tom Gun: Maverick, the sequel to the 1986 film. Instantly it became an absolute success, becoming one of the highest-grossing films of 2022. This sequel made a staggering 1.5 billion USD at the global box office. Before that, Cruise was seen in Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One.
