Tom Cruise appears to be going all out as he promotes the latest sequel to his blockbuster Mission: Impossible series. 

The 62-year-old daredevil was spotted Sunday in London as he filmed his latest stunt on the roof of the British Film Insтιтute’s IMAX building.

Video sH๏τ by fans on the ground shows a throng of gawkers gathered around the mᴀssive theater to record Cruise standing high in the sky.

While the full nature of the stunt isn’t clear yet, it appears to be at least partly to promote the release of Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning, which debuts in US theaters on May 23.

Cruise — who recently went over the top to impress his new girlfriend Ana de Armas — may have also been tying in his trip to the BFI IMAX’s roof with an event Monday during which he will be honored with a BFI Fellowship, the highest honor from the UK film organization.

The four-time Oscar delighted fans with a wide-ranging discussion about his lengthy career on Sunday in the run-up to the reception the following day.

PH๏τos from the event in London show Tom standing on top of the BFI IMAX wearing a dark suit with a white, tie-free shirt.

The actor, who sported shaggy dark hair, could be seen waving at fans in the distance at one point.

There weren’t any camera operators visible on the roof, but a drone camera was spotted hovering just feet away from Cruise.

The rooftop event include a special moment for at least one special fan, as the actor was spotted snapping a woman in a bright-orange top.

While the Magnolia star is used to making dangerous displays, his civilian guest had a professional kneeling by her side and holding her hand to make sure that she was secure.

It’s unclear if Cruise got on top of the roof via a regular access door, or if he used more dramatic means to reach the top.

The actor has been a notable advocate in recent years, particularly as the coronavirus pandemic wained, for viewing films as they were meant to be seen — in theaters.

Aside from its connection to the organization honoring him on Monday, the BFI IMAX was a logical spot for Cruise to plan an attention-grabbing stunt, as it features the largest screen in the UK at 65 feet tall by 85 feet wide, according to its website.

During his conversation on Sunday, Cruise admitted he joined the Mission: Impossible franchise because he hoped to transform the action genre after a string of critically acclaimed performance that raised his profile in the late ’80s and early ’90s

He added that, though he didn’t have a formal education in acting or film, he was able to work closely with major filmmakers — like Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg — and iconic actors — including The Color Of Money costar Paul Newman — to teach him about his craft

He also explained his decision to turn down a sequel to his blockbuster action film Top Gun (1986) because he wanted to diversify himself as an actor. ‘My goals are endless,’ he reportedly said to hearty applause

During his conversation in front of fans on Sunday, Cruise admitted that he joined the Mission: Impossible franchise for Brian De Palma’s first entry in 1996 because he hoped to transform the action genre after a string of critically acclaimed performance that raised his profile in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

‘It was about looking at Mission and thinking, “What can we do with action?”‘ he said, via ᴅᴇᴀᴅline. ‘It was about how I can evolve action and storytelling and imbue that kind of storytelling with greater amounts of emotion. That’s my interest. So I studied stunts and different cameras to develop my abilities and develop the technology.’

He added that, though he didn’t have a formal education in acting or film, he was able to work closely with major filmmakers — like Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg — and iconic actors — including The Color Of Money costar Paul Newman — to teach him about his craft.

Cruise noted that earlier in his career he would ‘force the studios’ to send him abroad on various projects so he could learn how movies were made outside of the United States.

‘At the time, Hollywood was very Hollywood. It was about America, but I was very much about the global,’ he said.

The Collateral star even claimed that he introduced Hollywood studios to the idea of holding red-carpet premieres in other countries to help promote and grow film culture across the world. 

He went on to recall his time working on A Few Good Men and his ‘extraordinary experience’ filming its climactic courthouse scene with Jack Nicholson.

Cruise said bigwigs from around Hollywood would drop by the studio in LA to see him and Nicholson sparring on stage.

He also explained his decision to turn down a sequel to his blockbuster action film Top Gun (1986) because he wanted to make different kinds of films and diversify himself as an actor.

‘My goals are endless,’ he reportedly said to hearty applause.
