Yeah its funny that he now really looks the part, and while I got used to the look, he just seemed way too young to have that greyish look they gave him. (of course people can have grey/silver hair at a young age but it was kinda jarring on Cruise).

A prequel would be the only thing that makes sense.

A prequel would be sick, it would be cool if they did the story of the previous taxi driver. Tom cruise is getting older and I'm hoping deepfake technology starts taking over instead of the cgi de-aging. There is a man on Instagram named miles fisher that does some pretty sick tom cruise deepfakes, he would be ideal to play the role.

The reason they have to use CGI de aging still is that deep fake technology is not high resolution enough yet for movies, even if they look good on youtube.

The new Indiana Jones movie is supposed to use a special kind of deaging that actually is a mix of A.I. deepfake and CGI using a lot of archive footage of Harrison Ford. It'll be interesting to see how that plays out. I can see where it would work well on actors who have been in a lot of movies in their lifetime, so Tom Cruise would definitely be able to take advantage.

That being said, Michael Mann typically keeps everything in camera, but who knows maybe he'll be open minded like Martin Scorsese and try some deaging if he decided to do a prequel to Collateral.
