Tom Cruise thanks fans for supporting Top Gun: Maverick while skydiving

While in the midst of his free fall, the actor continues his thank you message to fans, saying:

"Where was I? Oh yeah, thank you for supporting Top Gun: Maverick," Cruise adds while skydiving. "As always, thank you for allowing us to entertain you. It truly is the honor of a lifetime."

Before ending the video, Cruise wished fans a "very safe and happy holiday." He ends the video by saying, "We'll see you at the movies!"

Top Gun: Maverick is currently atop the list of highest-grossing films of the year. His return in Top Gun earned a staggering $1.48 billion in box office revenues. The only other film to break the $1 billion mark this year is Jurassic World Dominion. Avatar: The Way of Water will likely challenge the Top Gunn sequel at the top of the leaderboard. The film earned $434 million on its first weekend alone and is aiming to reach $2 billion in box office revenues just to break even.

Tom Cruise will return as Ethan Hunt in the seventh installment of the Mission: Impossible franchise. The actor is in the middle of filming Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. Plot details for the movie have been kept under wraps but we do know that Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, and Ving Rhames are returning in the upcoming movie and that it's been very expensive to film.

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One will be in theaters on July 14.
