As mentioned earlier, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning will be released in theaters across the United States on May 23, 2025. In an exclusive interview with People published on May 18, 2025, Cruise reflected on his role in the widely popular action movie franchise.
"I did the best you can, and it's representing all the efforts of everyone involved at that particular moment. I looked at it and I really see what it takes to make these movies and what I've learned about storytelling (in) this particular genre," he stated.
In another interview with People, published on May 15, 2025, cast member Angela Bassett shared her experience of working with a "purely enthusiastic" Tom Cruise during the filming of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.
"(He) just wants to pull the best out of everyone, wants everyone to look great, do great and work hard. No one works harder than he does… To work with someone who cares that deeply, that profoundly, that completely, is a joy,” she explained.
What is Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning about?
Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning takes place two months after the events of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. The trailer opens with an officer reading out Ethan Hunt's previous missions, including a CIA vault break-in, the Kremlin bombing, and the gassing of a security briefing.
"If we want to bring the world back from the brink....we have to deal with him. Should he choose to accept," the officer states.
To save the world from the rogue AI known as the Entity, IMF Agents Ethan Hunt and Grace must work along with their team to help isolate it. However, Hunt's expedition is riddled with betrayals, life-threatening encounters, and ethical quandaries.
With help from old and new allies such as Luther, Benji, and the newcomers Paris and Theo, Hunt faces off against Gabriel, a human enforcer of the Entity, who seeks to take over the AI. With threats of global nuclear war and increasingly personal sacrifices, Hunt has to outmaneuver both foes and former friends to corner the Entity and rescue humanity from cyborg annihilation.
As global tensions rise and the Entity grows more dangerous, the team must rely on trust, resilience, and quick thinking to confront a threat unlike any they've faced before. Their choices will determine the fate of the world.
Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning will be released in US theaters on May 23, 2025.
