Tom Cruise Takes Center Stage in New Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning Behind-the-Scenes Looks
Tom Cruise is taking center stage in new behind-the-scenes looks at Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, showcasing his intense underwater stunts. The mission franchise’s star has been a part of since 1996, and this latest installment promises to be his potential final outing as Ethan Hunt.
In a recently released video, Cruise is shown wearing a scuba suit and concentrating as his face mask is fastened on. He then enters the water, with the video highlighting the danger of the stunt he’s about to attempt. The footage also features Cruise giving a thumbs-up to the crew and fist-bumping them.
Cruise has also shared a behind-the-scenes image from the film, showing him taking a breath from a safety diver’s oxygen tank while underwater, with a large light shining in the background. In his caption, he wrote, “The training and preparation we put into this film is a culmination of all before it. From the depths, to the skies, I can’t wait to share more with you.”
The underwater stunt is not new to the franchise, as Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation (2015) also featured an extended underwater sequence. However, the sequence in The Final Reckoning promises to be more intense, with Cruise’s character facing off against an AI threat known as The Entity.
With the film’s release date approaching, the marketing is ramping up, and audiences can expect more looks at Cruise’s death-defying stunts. Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is set to be the best and most action-packed installment in the franchise yet, with its diverse range of stunts, including car and foot chases and a stunning aerial sequence.
The film’s release date is May 23, 2025, and it promises to be a fitting conclusion to Cruise’s iconic character.
