“Top Gun: Maverick” star Tom Cruise didn\u2019t get his planned space movie off the ground because he didn\u2019t want to ask President Donald Trump<\/a> for NASA coordination, Page Six reported Wednesday.<\/p>\n

An insider revealed to the outlet why Cruise\u2019s movie \u2014 first announced in 2020 \u2014 stalled due to the actor\u2019s differences with the president.<\/p>\n

“From what I understand, they would need NASA coordination to do the movie, and supposedly Tom Cruise did not want to ask Donald Trump for a favor. You\u2019d need permission from the federal government,” the source told Page Six<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A 2020 Deadline report<\/a> noted Cruise was planning to make a film with “Edge of Tomorrow” director Doug Liman, with portions shot in space.<\/p>\n

The outlet stated that Cruise was “planning to actually travel to space in a craft to shoot the film, and the scoop hung out there until NASA confirmed its participation a day later.”<\/p>\n

The production would have required cooperation from Elon Musk\u2019s SpaceX and NASA, which was under the first Trump administration at the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, the film never materialized. The source added, “Tom didn\u2019t want to ask for political reasons.”<\/p>\n

At the time, Trump-appointed NASA head, Jim Bridenstine<\/a>, said the agency would be willing to help the crew film, even offering access to the International Space Station.<\/p>\n

In a since-deleted social media post, Bridenstine wrote<\/a>, “NASA is excited to work with @TomCruise on a film aboard the @Space_Station! We need popular media to inspire a new generation of engineers and scientists to make @NASA’s ambitious plans a reality.”<\/p>\n

Cruise has kept his political views private throughout the Trump era, avoiding divisive commentary compared to many of his Hollywood colleagues.<\/p>\n

However, Cruise did generate waves when The Washington Post reported that the actor turned down a Kennedy Center honor from Trump earlier this year, due to “scheduling conflicts<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Representatives for Cruise and the White House did not immediately reply to Fox News Digital\u2019s request for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
