Tom Cruise is no longer set to make history in space as the actor's NASA movie with Edge of Tomorrow director has reportedly been scrapped

Tom Cruise as Pete Mitchell in Top Gun: Maverick.

Tom Cruise's in-development space movie has proven to be mission impossible. The actor's history-making project with Edge of Tomorrow director Doug Liman has reportedly been scrapped.

According to Page Six, sources say that the movie reached a dead-end due to Cruise's reluctance to ask the President for permission to work with NASA. "From what I understand, they would need NASA coordination to do the movie, and supposedly Tom Cruise did not want to ask Donald Trump for a favor," an insider told the publication. "You’d need permission from the federal government. Tom didn’t want to ask for political reasons."
