While describing the fictional elements is normal to a certain extent on wikipedia, all of the guidelines and policies on writing about fiction say that we should be looking to include real-world info from reliable, third party sources. For this article that means we need information about casting, about choices Cruise made in portraying the character, things the writers thought while writing the character, etc. The in universe tag should stay. The article, as it stands now, would be great on a wikia; such sites act as in universe encylcopedias for the fictional topics they cover. However, it is inappropriate for a wikipedia article to be limited to that information. Please read the appropriate guidlines before removing the tag again.

{{
context}}
beyond just the plot details, but that template is too vague to serve any meaningful purpose (so is {{
expand article}}
). Maybe we need a new template like {{
real-world context}} to address the issue of articles about elements of fiction (characters etc) where the plot info is already properly written up from real-world perspective but the article needs more real-world context beyond the work of fiction itself. --
