Cruise and Powell starred together in Top Gun Maverick back in 2022 and Cruise made an appearance at Powell’s premiere of Twisters in support of his friend.
Cruise was pictured with Powell, popcorn in hand for the premiere, which also stars Normal People actor Daisy Edgar-Jones.
The film is a sequel to the original 1996 film Twister, which starred Helen Hunt, Philip Seymour-Hoffman and Bill Paxton.
Fans were delighted when Cruise appeared at the premiere. “Fun night with friends, watching a movie!” Cruise later wrote on social media, sharing a picture of him and Powell together.
The official Top Gun social media account commented on the post writing, “Our Maverick and Hangman”, referring to their respective characters in Top Gun: Maverick.
At the film’s end, Cruise chatted to fans on the way out. Check out the images and videos from the night along with some of the reaction here:

Minari director Lee Isaac Chung has helmed the new sequel. In the first trailer, which was shared during this year’s Super Bowl, Edgar-Jones and Powell are seemingly part of two rival storm-chasing teams, with both groups driving through the eye of destructive tornadoes. “You don’t face your fears,” Powell tells Edgar-Jones at one point. “You ride them.”
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Chung has previously explained his intentions with the movie. “What was essential to me was that it always felt like in that first movie, which didn’t necessarily feel like a disaster movie,” he said.
“To me, it felt like an adventure movie, and I always loved how that movie inspired a generation of meteorologists and people who were interested in science and weather just because it made that study feel like it was an adventure. That’s something that I wanted to retain with this one.”
Twisters will also star Anthony Ramos, Sasha Lane, Kiernan Shipka, Tunde Adebimpe and more. It will premiere on July 19.
