Cavill had then pitched the idea to Cruise to let him do the jump without a stand-in stuntman.
“I was very keen to do the HALO jump. But they wouldn’t let me do it. I was begging Tom, I was like, ‘Tom, just put me in coach. You know I’m here in the back of a C-17 with you, I have a parachute on and I’ve done some wind tunnel time. Just let me jump out. I’ll be good, I promise.'”

Tom Cruise’s Perception of Fellow Actors Performing Stunts
TheTop Gun: Maverickstar,Tom Cruise, if not for his extensive contribution to Hollywood is known for his infinitely daring affinity to perform his own stunts, which range from flying fighter jets to hanging from a plane’s outer edge hundreds of feet up in the air to jumping off of the roofs of high-rises. Cruise’s ability to pull off each of these stunts has bestowed an honorary title to his name unachieved by any other.

This reflects in his reply to Cavill’s request about performing theMI 6HALO jump sequence. Cavill revealed that Tom Cruise had told him,
“Look, Henry, I know what you’re thinking, I know how you feel. I would feel the exact same way. But if you jump and we do the sequence in the air without you having hundreds of hours of training, you’ll probably kill everyone.”
