Tom Cruise is certainly a gift-giver around the holiday season, being well-known for his unique style in presents. It has become a common fact that success is no longer measured in awards in Hollywood; it is measured in coconut cakes. Cruise has a reputation for giving a luscious and delicious coconut cake to some of the industry’s finest on Christmas.
From Henry Cavill to Kirsten Dunst, Angela Bassett, and even Rosie O’Donnell, people from all corners of the industry have been on the list for years. One of the most recent additions in comparison has to be Glen Powell, who recently received his cake for this year.
With this, one cannot help but wonder what his cake means for his presence inTop Gun 3.

Although both Cruise and Powell have been confirmed to come back, there could be a lot more characters coming back and even more being added. With this in mind, one cannot help but wonder if Powell will still get importance next to Cruise.
However, considering the cake, the closeness that they both share, and the fact that Powell has become a household name very quickly, one could expect him to maintain his importance within the story ofTop Gun.
