CinemaConbringsTom Cruise’s living manifestation of destiny, IMF agent Ethan Hunt, back for his final reckoning. The upcoming action sequelMission: Impossible – The Final Reckoningfinds Cruise back in the lead (and running to save the world), with director Christopher McQuarrie taking the reins once again for what’s been promised as a “satisfying conclusion to a 30-year story arc.”
Tom Cruise was in attendance at CinemaCon to show off a new trailer forThe Final Reckoning, and it sounds absolutely bonkers. Check out the footage description, courtesy of ScreenRant.
“The teaser opens with Hunt clinging to the side of a small-engine plane, with snippets from previous movies then flashing across the screen. This includes his CIA vault heist from the original movie, but also the Kremlin bombing fromGhost Protocoland Hunt’s gassing of intelligence community leaders inDead Reckoning.
The trailer then cuts to Hunt being arrested by the military, presumably to work for them, with Gabriel voiceover taunting: ‘Your team has betrayed you. All of your secrets, compromised.’ Eugene Kittridge (Henry Czerny) then says, ‘Everything you are. Everything you’ve done has come to this.’ The trailer shows Hunt and his team getting an aircraft carrier to accomplish their mission before footage plays of Cruise clinging to the side of a plane, jumping into the ocean, and trying to survive underwater. The trailer ends with Hunt saying to his team, ‘I need you to trust me one last time.’

‘Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning’ Left Tom Cruise Gasping for Air
Christopher McQuarrie took the reins of theMission: Impossiblefranchise with the fifth installment,Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, back in 2015. Since then, each movie has been better than the last, withMission: Impossible – Dead Reckoningbeing met with rave reviews, and now standing at a hugely impressive 96% on Rotten Tomatoes. With this in mind,Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoningcertainly has a lot to live up to when it lands in theaters in the United States on June 16, 2025, courtesy of Paramount Pictures. While we await to see whetherThe Final Reckoningdoes indeed reach loftier heights than its already pretty lofty predecessors, returning starVing Rhames has revealed exclusively to MovieWebthat the sequel is by far the most emotional.
“I would say it is very emotional. And it really shows a lot about the relationship between Tom and I.”
Alongside the emotion,Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoningwill also bring the death-defying stunts, with Cruise not only hanging from a plane at one point,but also nearly drowning. “I’m breathing in my own carbon dioxide. It builds up in the body and affects the muscles. You have to overcome all of that while you’re doing it, and be present,” Tom Cruise said of this particular stunt, which finds Ethan Hunt getting close to “The Entity” and exploring the wreckage of the Sevastopol submarine from the previous movie.
