What does Tom Cruise say about The Odyssey?

Taking to X Tom Cruise writes, “Wow, To Chris, Emma and ALL of you brilliant cast and crew. Thank you for an amazing night in a movie theatre. I can’t wait to see it again.” No sooner was the post made, two things happened. First, it went viral as an actor gave a shout out to another film. Second, fans of Tom Cruise definitely started booking tickets to see the movie that their icon praised.
