Tom Cruise and Scarlett Johansson seem to be on the same page about combining their star power for a film project.

The 60-year-old Top Gun: Maverick star revealed at the Rome premiere of his latest blockbuster Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One that he ‘absolutely’ is interested in working with the 38-year-old Avengers actress.

It's fate: Tom Cruise, 60, said he would 'absolutely' want to work with Scarlett Johansson, 38, in the future during the Rome premiere of Mission: Impossible 7 on Monday

His interest in collaborating comes after Johansson confessed at the New York City of her new Wes Anderson–directed film Asteroid City that Cruise is the last major star that she dreams of sharing the screen with.

‘I’d love to work with Tom Cruise,’ she admitted to The Hollywood Reporter on the red carpet on June 13, adding that she hoped someone would pitch a film idea featuring the two.

Luckily for her, Cruise told THR he was game when it came time for him to lead a film premiere.

‘She could do comedy, drama, action, suspense. She’s someone that really draws you in on the screen, on camera,’ he continued. ‘So absolutely, it’s gonna happen.’

The actor also delved into his love for making films that excite audiences at a premiere for his new film, which is likely to do just that.

‘I love that cinema experience, and this film was made for that,’ he said. ‘I’ve always been studying any new programs that they have and any way that I can engage an audience and make it more entertaining more immersive. Look, I have always wanted to make movies and travel the world and to be able to have this opportunity now, this is what I wanna do.’
