- Tom Cruise is going out with a bang in the first Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning trailer.
- The man hailed as the “last real movie star” is reprising his role as IMF agent Ethan Hunt and reunited with writer/director Christopher McQuarrie for what appears to be a franchise closer.
- Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning release date (Australia): May 25th, 2025
It seemed like just yesterday the world was introduced to Tom Cruise as the relentless IMF agent Ethan Hunt. Now, a little under 30 years and seven high-stakes chapters later, the franchise is poised to close the book with the explosive Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning led by its 62-year-old leading man (and LA Olympics mascot).
Following the previous cliffhanger instalment subtitled Dead Reckoning, which pitted Cruise’s Ethan Hunt & Co against a rogue AI threat dubbed the Entity, the disavowed heroes return to finish the job.

The first Final Reckoning trailer not only pays homage to the setpiece stunts that have come to define the Mission: Impossible mythology, but also previews the latest showstopper we previously glimpsed —Tom Cruise casually dangling from a biplane as it weaves through the peaks of South African.
True to his onscreen reputation, there’s also a gratuitous amount of sprinting sequences.
“Every choice has led to this,” Cruise himself captioned an Instagram post revealing the film’s poster.
In addition to Tom Cruise’s reprisal of his role as Ethan Hunt, The Final Reckoning will rewelcome Henry Czerny as former former IMF director Eugene Kittridge; Hayley Atwell as thief turned IMF trainee Grace; Ving Rhames and Simon Pegg as support agents Luther Stickell and Benji Dunn; Pom Klementieff as assassin-turned-IMF ally Paris; plus Vanessa Kirby as black market arms dealer Alanna Mitsopolis (“The White Widow”).
You can also expect Angela Bassett as CIA director turned US President Erika Sloane; Esai Morales as the villainous Gabriel; alongside Hannah Waddingham, Katy O’Brian, Tramell Tillman, and Nick Offerman as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff simply named Sydney.
