Hopefully his next character portrayal may be better than his latest portrayal of Colonel Von Stauffenberg in "Valkyrie".
And somehow I can't imagine "Maverick" flying a P40 fighter with Nationalist Chinese markings on it, dodging and diving against Zero fighters.
And no I don't regularly go the link below; it was passed on to me. :

The movie is under the direction of Mission Impossible II guy John Woo (pictured above). The screenplay was written by Christopher McQuarrie, who co-wrote Valkyrie, so this teams Tom up with two very familiar faces.
The photo above is of Cruise and Woo from 2000 when they were promoting “Mission Impossible 2” in Taipei.
Here’s what John Woo told ComingSoon about “Flying Tigers”:
It’s based on a true story in WWII, about a group of American volunteer fighter pilots who worked with the Chinese Air Force fighting with the Japanese and they won the war. Also, it’s the story of Clair Chennault, and they did a great contribution for the Chinese, and the Chinese people love and respect them. The whole story is about a friendship between a Chinese and an American and they worked together.”
My guess is that this reunion of Woo, McQuarrie and Cruise is a definite possibility!
