Tom Cruise Defies Death in ‘Mission Impossible 8’ Trailer

Red plane, yellow plane, don’t matter. Whatever the color, your boy Ethan Hunt is gonna hang on that sucker for dear life because he’s got things to do and a world to save yet again. Think what you may of Tom Cruise (and you’d be justified), but you gotta admit: The man is willing to die for cinéma. No fakesies, too, which you can tell from the way his cheeks violently flap in the heavy winds. AI can’t do that.
The Mission: Impossible franchise has always been the greatest vessel for Cruise’s cinematic death drive, and as you would expect, it’s prominently emphasized in the final trailer for Mission: Impossible — Final Reckoning, the eighth entry in the series. It’s got all the stuff you’ve come to love in your standard MI flick: practical stunts; punches and knife fights; that sweet, sweet riff on Lalo Schifrin’s theme; powerful people doubting Hunt despite literally everything he’s done in the last seven movies; and, of course, Cruise doing his patented robot-man run past Big Ben. But also, there’s now Tramell Tillman!
Final Reckoning will conclude the story started up in Dead Reckoning, with our team of wily IMF agents — now joined by Hayley Atwell’s master thief Grace, but sans Rebecca Ferguson’s Ilsa Faust, sadly — now having to find a downed Russian submarine to destroy a very scary artificial intelligence. Despite the final-sounding subtitle, though, it’s not actually entirely clear if this is Ethan Hunt’s swan song. After all, Cruise did tell the Sydney Morning Herald back in 2023 that he hopes to keep making Mission: Impossible films until he’s in his 80s. Which, I mean, sure. As long as he can keep running an aggressively straight line, and if Skydance can keep swindling new insurers, why not?
