When the need for certainty is absolute And the odds are deemed impossible The mission falls to him
Tom Cruise is back as Ethan Hunt in the follow-up to 2023’s MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – DEAD RECKONING PART ONE and to start the week, Paramount Pictures has released a first poster and teaser for MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – THE FINAL RECKONING.
Official Synopsis: “Our lives are the sum of our choices. Tom Cruise is Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.“
In 2024, Cruise appeared in the Paris 2024 Olympics closing ceremony to promote Los Angeles 2028 Summer Olympics, by jumping from the roof of the Stade de France stadium in Paris. He took the flag from Mayor Karen Bass and athlete Simone Biles to Hollywood.
As seen in the trailer, Cruise wears the same wardrobe as Ethan Hunt in MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – THE FINAL RECKONING that he did performing the epic stunt on August 11, 2024.
MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – DEAD RECKONING PART ONE sits at an impressive 96% on Rotten Tomatoes. The franchise has grossed over $4 billion worldwide, with MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – FALLOUT having the highest ticket sales with $220,159,104.

Currently, the Mission series has grossed over $3.5 billion worldwide.
It’s hard to overstate the impact that Cruise’s Mission: Impossible franchise has had on action cinema over the decades, and how it has itself grown exponentially over the same period. “Mission had done a train sequence before, all the way back in the first film and a lot of that had been done on a stage. We wanted to do one that was practical. We wanted to build upon what was learned on that sequence and apply all of that knowledge to something practical and real,” McQuarrie says, speaking about one of the film’s many jaw-dropping action sequences, in which he and Cruise drive a real steam train off a blown-up bridge (more on that later). Over six installments and 27 years of the Mission: Impossible franchise, the character of Ethan Hunt has earned his place as one of Cruise’s most indelible creations. And, in Dead Reckoning Parts One and Two, the elite agent will be tested more than ever.
The filmmakers are not only delighted with what their approach has yielded thus far, but also thrilled with what they have yet to reveal. “In the next one, you will feel the world constantly expanding and you’ll go to places the franchise has never been. You’ll see parts of the world that you’ve never seen this way. And, frankly, some of them won’t exist for much longer,” McQuarrie says. “We have really, truly, taken this story to the edge of the world.”

If neither Cruise nor McQuarrie is yet prepared to reveal what ground-breaking stunt Cruise is preparing to pull off for audiences in the next movie, McQuarrie will at least confirm this: “The bike jump [in Dead Reckoning Part One] was far and away the most dangerous thing we had ever attempted. The only thing that scared me more than that stunt was what we had planned for Part Two.”

For now, though, what both men want is for audiences around the world to get ready to immerse themselves in a jaw-dropping story that they say makes this Mission: Impossible the most exhilarating, ambitious, and emotional installment so far. “I always knew there were things we could do better,” Cruise says of his near-three decade Mission journey. “There are always mountains to climb. But I really do believe that this movie is Mission in its highest gear. No one can be tougher on me than me. I have always set the bar high for myself and always expect a lot from myself. I never want to rest on any laurels in seeing how I can serve the audience.”
Cruise smiles, excited by what that audience is about to see, and by what he knows is coming next. “If I could be on a movie set every single day of my life, I would,” he says. “I am always pushing myself. I can’t help it, it’s in my nature.”

The actor thanked fans in the only way this mega-star can and it’s spectacular!
Tom Cruise’s next mission could make history. If the plans for an upcoming film come through, he would fly to space to film the moment where he helps save the planet.
Donna Langley, chairman of Universal Film Entertainment Group, told the BBC in an interview last week that the 60-year-old “Mission Impossible” and “Top Gun” actor will be “taking the world to space.”
“That’s the plan. We have a great project in development with Tom that does contemplate him doing just that,” she said, “taking a rocket up to the space station and shooting and hopefully being the first civilian to do a spacewalk outside of the space station.”
Before this happens, the Oscar-nominated actor will perform the biggest stunt in cinema history in director Christopher McQuarrie’s MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – DEAD RECKONING PART ONE– in theaters JULY 14, 2023. Check out this new Extended Behind-the-Scenes look at the film.
DEAD RECKONING PART ONE stars Tom Cruise, Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby, Esai Morales, Pom Klementieff, Mariela Garriga, Henry Czerny, Shea Whigham, Greg Tarzan Davis, Frederick Schmidt, Charles Parnell, Rob Delaney, Cary Elwes, Indira Varma, Mark Gatiss.
Next year Tom Cruise returns as Impossible Missions Force (IMF) team leader Ethan Hunt in the long awaited next chapter in the successful franchise, with Christopher McQuarrie returning to the helm.
The cast includes Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby, Hayley Atwell, Shea Whigham, Pom Klementieff, Esai Morales, Henry Czerny, Rob Delaney, Cary Elwes, Indira Varma, Mark Gatiss, Charles Parnell, Greg Tarzan Davis, Frederick Schmidt.
Check out this first look at MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – DEAD RECKONING PART ONE.
Cruise, who launched the franchise in 1996, is truly an entertainer who wants to give audiences a film more thrilling and intense than its predecessor. This is the third film in the series that Cruise and McQuarrie have collaborated on following MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – ROGUE NATION (2015), MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – FALLOUT (2018) and now MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – DEAD RECKONING PART ONE. McQuarrie, an Oscar winner for his screenplay for The Usual Suspects, and Cruise previously teamed up for the 2012 film JACK REACHER.
Fans of the popular franchise will be glad to see the return on Ving Rhames, who has played the character of Luther Stickell since the first Mission: Impossible film in 1996, as well as Benji Dunn, played by actor, comedian and filmmaker Simon Pegg.
Over the past two decades, Tom Cruise has produced, starred in and performed in the most mind-blowing stunts in the Mission: Impossiblefilms, a global cultural phenomenon that has grossed more than $2.8 billion worldwide, making it one of the most successful franchises in movie history. With TOP GUN: MAVERICK opening this weekend, both films solidify Tom Cruise’s status as the biggest movie star on the planet.
Based on the TV series by Bruce Geller, the seventh MI film is set to hit theaters on July 14, 2023.
Some missions are not a choice. Watch the official featurette from MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – FALLOUT starring Tom Cruise where he completes a High Altitude Low Open skydive jump from over 25,000 feet while the plane is travelling at 165mph.
It’s an insane stunt, but Cruise pulls it off – awesome!
The best intentions often come back to haunt you. MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – FALLOUT finds Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise – “Top Gun,” “American Made,” “The Mummy”) and his IMF team (Alec Baldwin – “Saturday Night Live,” “The Boss Baby,” “Beetlejuice,” Simon Pegg – “Star Trek,” “Ready Player One,” Ving Rhames – “Pulp Fiction,” “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2”) along with some familiar allies (Rebecca Ferguson – “The Greatest Showman,” ”The Girl on the Train,” Michelle Monaghan – “The Bourne Supremacy,” “The Heartbreak Kid”) in a race against time after a mission gone wrong.
Henry Cavill (“Justice League,” “Man of Steel”), Angela Bassett (“Black Panther,” “American Horror Story”), and Vanessa Kirby (“Me Before You,” “The Crown”) also join the dynamic cast with filmmaker Christopher McQuarrie (“Jack Reacher”) returning to the helm.
MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – FALLOUT is in theatres July 27, 2018.
