<p>The 59-year-old actor will be at the Palais on Wednesday, May 18, but there will be no afterparty planned with a &#8220;Top Gun&#8221; theme for the highly-anticipated sequel to the 1986 blockbuster hit, <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/top-gun-maverick-cannes-party-1235147301/">reported</a> the Hollywood Reporter.</p>
<p>The outlet reported that there&#8217;s no big party planned because the &#8220;Jack Reacher&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tom-cruise-explodes-at-crew-for-breaking-covid-rules-were-creating-thousands-of-jobs-you-motherfers">star</a> is headed to the United Kingdom for several public events. The actor is to &#8220;play a starring role&#8221; in the monarch&#8217;s continuing observances to mark her 70 years on the throne.</p>
<p>Exactly what role the &#8220;Mission Impossible&#8221; star will play is unclear. He is also supposed to join Prince William and Kate Middleton on the red carpet on Thursday for the U.K. premiere of his upcoming &#8220;Top Gun&#8221; sequel at London&#8217;s Leicester Square.</p>
<p>On Sunday, Cruise was part of the ongoing Platinum Jubilee celebrations when he took the stage at Windsor Castle at a four-day horse show.</p>
