Tom Cruise is back for Ethan Hunt’s final mission.
Paramount Pictures has unveiled trailer for Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, which will launch in theaters May 23.
Check out trailer above, where you can see Hunt face his most dangerous enemy yet in the form of an AI known as the Entity. The pic rounds out the plot set up in the previous film, with Hunt now in possession of the key necessary to defeat the Entity. Before he can do that, he must collect his team to find the sunken Russian submarine that houses the source code needed to destroy the technology.
In the trailer, Hunt can be seen grabbing on to a fighter plane, running from a Kremlin bombing and gassing a security briefing, amongst other stunts.
Watch on Deadline
Final Reckoning will see Cruise reunite with director Christopher McQuarrie from a screenplay he wrote with Erik Jendresen. It’s the eighth instalment in the Mission series. Cruise, Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Vanessa Kirby, Esai Morales, Pom Klementieff, Henry Czerny, Angela Bassett, and Rolf Saxon reprise their roles. A brief trailer put out late last year saw Bassett revealed to be reprising her role as as Erika Sloane.
The film has been widely speculated as a Cannes Film Festival launch. Cruise will be in London in the days before the festival to collect a BFI Fellowship and take part in a Q&A event. The film icon was at CinemaCon last week to show footage of Final Reckoning and held a moment of remembrance for his late Top Gun co-star Val Kilmer.
