Njengoba wazi, uTom Cruz uhlose ukuba ngumlingisi wokuqala emlandweni, ozophakanyiswa kwifilimu ephelele egcwele esiteshini samanje sesikhala samazwe aphesheya. Kodwa-ke, akukaziwa ukuthi uCruz uzoba yinkanyezi kuphela yalesi sithombe sokuphumelela noma iphrojekthi izothola abanye abaculi. Endabeni yenketho yesibili, umuntu ofanelekile weqhaza lomsebenzi wokuhamba kozakwethu kungaba uzakwethu wesikhathi eside ku "Mission: Akunakwenzeka" iSimon Pegg. Engxoxweni ne-NME Pegg yavuma ukuthi uzolandela isiyingi noma kuphi:
Ngingathanda ukuya esikhaleni, kungamangaza! Kepha uyazi, futhi udinga ukucabanga ngomndeni wakho, ezokuphepha nezinye izinto. UTom akakaze athathe leli cala ngokungenakudla - wonke amaqhinga akhe atholakala nemininingwane emincane kakhulu. Ngemuva kwazo kungukuzijabulisa okude nokusebenza. Uma ekwenza ngempela [kuzosusa ifilimu esikhaleni], ukuphepha kuzoba sezingeni eliphakeme kakhulu. Ngakho-ke angazi. Akekho owaziyo.
Ngokusobala, i-Pegg ayikungabazi ubungcweti bokuhamba ngesikebhe futhi isilungele ukuxhasa impilo yakhe uma bebahlanganisa nale filimu evamile. Qaphela ukuthi iphrojekthi yenziwa ngokubambisana ne-Spacex Ilona Mask kanye nokusekelwa kwe-NASA. Umqondisi akakaze amukelwe igama lesithombe kuzoba yiDag Laiman ("Ukuzalwa Kukhonjwa", "Ikusasa", "Mnu noNkk Smith").
