Ana De Armas Confirms Collaboration With Tom Cruise: “We’re Working On Something Big”

May 23, 2025– Hollywood stars Ana de Armas and Tom Cruise are officially teaming up on a high-octane project, the actress has confirmed. After weeks of speculation spurred by multiple sightings of the duo together, de Armas revealed that they are indeed “working on something” alongside acclaimed action directors Doug Liman and Christopher McQuarrie.

“Obviously, everyone knows I’m working with Tom Cruise,” the Cuban actress told People. She praised Liman, who directed Cruise in Edge of Tomorrow and American Made, and McQuarrie, the long-time creative force behind the Mission: Impossible series, calling them “unbelievable at everything they do.”

Describing the collaboration as “a great team and an amazing process,” de Armas also acknowledged the intense physical demands of working alongside Cruise. “Of course, I’m doing crazy training—as you do when you’re working with Tom,” she laughed. “It’s another level that just keeps setting the bar higher and higher. But it’s so much fun.”

While specific details about the project remain under wraps, de Armas teased that it’s not just one film in the pipeline. “We just got excited,” she said, hinting that more collaborations could be on the way.

Not a Romance, Just Business

Despite persistent rumors, sources close to the actors insist that there is no romantic involvement between Cruise and de Armas. Their first public outing together in February was reportedly a dinner meeting with agents to discuss potential future projects.

A Season of Action

Both stars are currently riding high on action-packed ventures. Cruise’s ‘Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning’, the eighth instalment in the blockbuster franchise, is now playing in theatres. Meanwhile, de Armas is set to headline ‘Ballerina’, a gritty spin-off from the John Wick universe. The film hits theatres on June 6 and is positioned between John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and Chapter 4.

Cruise has even extended praise for de Armas’ performance in Ballerina, calling it “remarkable” and suggesting that the two may find even more opportunities to collaborate in the future.

Closing Thought:
With Cruise and de Armas bringing their star power to a project under the guidance of action maestros Liman and McQuarrie, expectations are sky-high. Whatever they’re training for, one thing’s for certain: it’s going to be explosive.
