Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) needs everyone’s trust one final time in Paramount’s first teaser for Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (previously known as Dead Reckoning Part Two). The two-minute teaser for the eighth film of the franchise shows Cruise doing a lot of running, hanging off an airplane, and exploring a submarine.
The Final Reckoning, which picks up after the events of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, stars Cruise, Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Vanessa Kirby, Esai Morales, and Pom Klementieff. Mariela Garriga, Henry Czerny, Holt McCallany, Janet McTeer, and Nick Offerman also star. Rounding out the cast are Hannah Waddingham, Angela Bassett, Shea Whigham, Greg Tarzan Davis, Charles Parnell, and Frederick Schmidt.
Christopher McQuarrie, director of the M:I films Dead Reckoning, Fallout, and Rogue Nation, returns to helm what’s being promoted as the final film of the franchise. McQuarrie and Cruise serve as producers, with David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, Don Granger, and Chris Brock executive producing.
Dead Reckoning opened in theaters on July 12, 2023. The Final Reckoning arrives in theaters on May 23, 2025.
“In Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, Ethan Hunt (Cruise) and his IMF team embark on their most dangerous mission yet: To track down a terrifying new weapon that threatens all of humanity before it falls into the wrong hands. With control of the future and the fate of the world at stake, and dark forces from Ethan’s past closing in, a deadly race around the globe begins,” reads Paramount’s synopsis for the seventh film of the franchise. “Confronted by a mysterious, all-powerful enemy, Ethan is forced to consider that nothing can matter more than his mission – not even the lives of those he cares about most.”
The studio released this short description of The Final Reckoning: “Our lives are the sum of our choices.”
