Variety is reporting that The Champions - a movie version of the 1960s TV show about three members of an international taskforce given superpowers by a hidden advanced civilization after a plane crash in the Himalayas, produced by Hellboy's Guillermo del Toro - is just one of three projects being reworked by writer Chris McQuarrie for Cruise.

Don't expect to see it in theaters anytime soon, however; while studio United Artists thinks that The Champions could be Cruise's first franchise opportunity since Mission: Impossible, McQuarrie and Cruise will first collaborate on a remake of French thriller Anthony Zimmer before they can think about boarding any disaster-bound jets.

And plus you know how he's just so eager to be a Superhero himself.
