Cruise was on the program to talk about his role in the upcoming action movie The Mummy when he dropped the Top Gun bombshell to the incredulous morning show hosts.
“I know. It’s happening. It is definitely happening,” he tells the shocked hosts.
“You’re the first people I’ve said this to,” Cruise reveals. “I’m here and you asked me and so I’m telling you it’s going to happen.”
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer tweeted a photo in January, hinting that they were working on the project and confirming that Cruise was onboard.
