Cruise also said that the film crew pushed themselves to the next level with the aerial stunt, using all their knowledge to make it incredible for the audience.

“We give the audience something incredibly unique yet also classic. So that is always a challenge. We are using all of knowledge that we have gained from making these (past) films and putting it into this sequence. That’s the goal. Take everything that we have learned and push it to the next level,” the 62-year-old actor said.
