He’s also been hard at work filming ‘Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part Two’. Filming has been ongoing since July, with the film set to hit theaters on June 28, 2024.

It isn’t the first time Cruise has been involved in a royal event. He attended the funeral of Charles’s first wife, Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1997 alongside his then-wife Nicole Kidman.
