The 58-year-old movie star, Tom Cruise will be on board the SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule on its scheduled October 2021 trip to the International Space Station, according to Space Shuttle Almanac.

Iran PressAmerica: Plans for Tom Cruise’s outer space film with Elon Musk have been finalized, with the trip now scheduled for 2021, the Sun reported.

NASA and Space Shuttle veteran Michael Lopez-Alegria will be the pilot on the trip and there is one, as yet unfilled, tourist place available in the new four-person Crew Dragon.

Earlier this year, it was announced by NASA that Cruise and Liman had teamed up with SpaceX founder Elon Musk and NASA to make a movie aboard the ISS.

Further details aren't known of Cruise's plans to shoot in space, although it's understood that Liman has written a draft screenplay for the project.

The groundbreaking public-private partnership between NASA and Elon Musk's SpaceX took a giant leap forward in May this year when the Crew Dragon spacecraft aboard a Falcon 9 rocket was launched from Florida's Kennedy Space Center.

NASA astronauts Douglas Hurley and Robert Behnken's journey marked the first crewed launch to the International Space Station from the United States since the final flight of NASA's Space Shuttle fleet in 2011.
