The past seems to be returning to haunt Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt in the trailer for Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. The direct sequel to Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One (2023), it is the eighth installment in the Mission: Impossible film series.

As Cruise’s iconic character, Ethan Hunt, appears once again leaping between continents and dodging enemies, the trailer, lasting a little over two minutes, builds anticipation for what’s being billed as the climactic entry in the franchise.

Directed and written by longtime series collaborator Christopher McQuarrie, The Final Reckoning boasts an ensemble cast that includes familiar faces like Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, and Vanessa Kirby, as well as newcomers such as Hannah Waddingham, Nick Offerman, and Katy O’Brian.

This follow-up to last year’s Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One, which earned over $571 million globally, is expected to draw blockbuster attention as one of the summer’s biggest releases.

Set for release on May 23, the film comes as Paramount hints that this may be the concluding chapter of Ethan Hunt’s saga, hoping to elevate audience anticipation for what could be Cruise’s final mission.
