Tom Cruise faces new threat in Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning teaser
After announcing the release date of the final film in the Mission: Impossible franchise, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, Paramount Pictures has released the first teaser trailer.
The thrilling teaser trailer gives a glimpse of Tom Cruise’s character, IMF agent Ethan Hunt, as he continues his battle against the powerful AI, called “the Entity,” picking up where 2022’s Dead Reckoning Part One left off. He sprints through various landscapes in the two-minute-long teaser. At one point, you see the 62-year-old actor chasing an aeroplane and even presumably catching it. Other shots show him knife-fighting and running from an explosion in a tunnel.
Tom Cruise, one of Hollywood’s most popular action stars, also hangs off the side of a plane during a mid-air fight between two aeroplanes. The teaser concludes with Tom Cruise telling his team, “I need you to trust me.”
“Our lives are the sum of our choices,” Cruise, 62, wrote on Instagram when sharing the trailer for the final film in the Mission: Impossible franchise.
The eighth film in the franchise is directed by Christopher McQuarrie. It also stars Henry Czerny, Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Pom Klementieff, and Vanessa Kirby.
The film also features Hannah Waddingham, Nick Offerman, Katy O’Brian, and Tramell Tillman. It will release worldwide on May 23, 2025.
