Tom Cruise’s Top Gun Maverick has been immensely profitable for him. As per Variety, he earned $100 million for reprising his role as Maverick. It is more than six times the budget for the original Top Gun, which was just $15 million in 1986. However, it seems like Cruise will be taking a lower fee for Mission Impossible 7 & 8, in a range of $12 million to $14 million.
