“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.”
