Tom Cruise ends ‘Oppenheimer’ and ‘Barbie’ rivalry in support of cinema

Tom Cruise proved he is a cinema lover by revealing his plans to watch Christopher Nolan’s highly anticipated film Oppenheimer and Greta Gerwig’s Barbie.

The Top Gun star, who is gearing up for the worldwide release of his own blockbuster movie Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One, said he will watch the Cillian Murphy starrer first.

Even though some reports were suggesting that the superstar was insecure about the release of Murphy’s film as it might steal attention of his own movie. Cruise debunked all such rumours saying he will go to watch Oppenheimer and Barbie the opening weekend.

During the Australian premiere of his action-thriller, Cruise told The Sydney Morning Herald, "I want to see both Barbie and Oppenheimer."

"I’ll see them opening weekend. Friday I’ll see Oppenheimer first and then Barbie on Saturday," the hunk added of the movies, both slated to be released on July 21st.

"I grew up seeing movies on the big screen. That’s how I make them, and I like that experience," the actor added about his love for cinema.

"It's immersive, and to have that as a community and an industry, it’s important,” Cruise said. “I still go the movies.”

During promotions of the seventh installment of his mega hit film, Cruise took to Twitter to shower support to his fellow filmmakers and actors on their upcoming movies including the atomic-bomb biographical thriller, the live-action Barbie movie and Harrison Ford’s

“This summer is full of amazing movies to see in theaters,” Cruise tweeted with photos of himself and Mission: Impossible 7 director Christopher McQuarrie as they posed in front of each of the films' posters.

"Congratulations, Harrison Ford, on 40 years of Indy and one of the most iconic characters in history," Cruise continued. "I love a double feature, and it doesn't get more explosive (or more pink) than one with Oppenheimer and Barbie.”
