Cruise and Pitt portray vampires Lestat and Louis, respectively, in the film adaptation of Anne Rice's Interview with a Vampire. A young Kirsten Dunst, Christian Slater, Antonio Banderas, and Stephen Rea co-starred in the Neil Jordan-directed blockbuster.
Pitt and the Mission: Impossible star have a number of regular collaborators in common, even though that movie is the only time they have collaborated on-screen.
Jerry Bruckheimer
and Joseph Kosinski, who also directed Cruise's 2022 blockbuster Top Gun: Maverick, are the producers and directors of Formula 1.
As Sonny Hayes, a former racer making a comeback to Formula One with a fictional team, Pitt is a leader. The film, which was written by Ehren Kruger and produced in partnership with real-life Formula One athletes, stars Javier Bardem, Tobias Menzies, Kim Bodnia, and Damson Idris.
According to CinemaBlend, Cruise remarked at CinemaCon 2025 in April, "It's great to see Brad driving." "He's a very good driver. Believe me, I've raced against him. When we were doing Interview with the Vampire, we'd go and race go-karts. We'd literally finish and go drive go-karts all night.'
The Wolf's actor-producer stated to E! News earlier this month that he would be open to collaborating with his former co-star, but with one exception.
'I'm not going to hang my ass off airplanes and s--- like that, so… when he does something again, that's on the ground.'
Apart from F1, Pitt also appears in the upcoming Heart of the Beast movie, directed by David Ayer. Among Cruise's next projects are the untitled Alejandro Iñárritu film, which is scheduled for release in 2026, and the WWII drama Broadsword.

Himesh Reshammiya turns reviewer for Heads Of State, calling it an 'action mixtape' with 'seeti-worthy moments.' Premieres July 2 on Prime Video. Known for his musical flair and unforgettable screen presence, Himesh Reshammiya just turned movie reviewing into an entertainment spectacle. The singer-composer-actor broke the internet with his hilariously unique take on Heads Of State, Prime Video's upcoming action-comedy starring global icons Priyanka Chopra Jonas, John Cena, and Idris Elba. In a laugh-out-loud segment titled 'Reviews-E-Reshammiya", Himesh brought his signature suroor to the film's promo, delivering his review surrounded by paparazzi, mid-song, and with witty one-liners that had fans in splits. Describing Heads Of State as an 'action mixtape" full of 'seeti-worthy moments," the rockstar couldn't help but burst into his hit number Aashiq Banaya Aapne while showering praise on the film's power-packed trio. He called John Cena and Idris Elba 'deadly dudes" and declared Priyanka Chopra's presence as the ultimate desi tadka. Heads Of State, directed by Ilya Naishuller (Hardcore Henry), promises a whirlwind of political chaos and buddy-comedy madness. The story follows U.S. President Will Derringer (John Cena) and British Prime Minister Sam Clarke (Idris Elba), whose not-so-secret rivalry is forced to take a backseat when Air Force One is shot down over enemy territory. With MI6 Agent Noel Bisset (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) tasked with their protection, the three must work together to stop a global conspiracy threatening the free world. Also featuring Paddy Considine, Stephen Root, Carla Gugino, Jack Quaid, and Sarah Niles, the film blends political satire with pulse-pounding action and laugh-out-loud moments. It is set to premiere globally on July 2 on Prime Video, available in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada. With Himesh Reshammiya's musical blessing and a star cast that packs a punch, Heads Of State is poised to be one of the most explosive and entertaining OTT premieres of the year.
