As per FandomWire, Cruise told Cavill, “if we do the sequence in the air without you having hundreds of hours of training, you’ll probably kill everyone’. He was referring to The Witcher actor wanting to do the Halo jump. He tried to convince Cruise for meeting him join him in C-17 to jump with a parachute on and assured of doing it well.

The experienced senior actor could understand his excitement but explained how it could prove to be fatal for everyone. For the British actor, the excitement was built up since his own brother and close friends in the forces and have done this before.
