Mission: Impossible Fallout

Ethan Hunt is back, and he’s more limber and energized than ever. After a series of new photos teased by Tom Cruise on social media (oh yeah, Tom Cruise is on Instagram now folks), the first trailer has finally arrived. The full trailer for Mission: Impossible – Fallout dropped during the Super Bowl, which is this big sporting event held in honor of the new Tom Cruise action movie...

Yes, Tom Cruise is literally falling out of something on the ‘Mission: Impossible – Fallout’ poster.

Tom Cruise says they upped the ante for ‘Mission: Impossible 6,’ and the first photo teases exactly that.

The latest Tom Cruise stunt mishap hasn’t delayed the trailer, at least.

Cruise had another accident on the set of ‘M:I 6’. Apparently finishing this movie is the real impossible mission.

Have a favorite Tom Cruise action movie? What’s the best ‘Mission: Impossible’? Here’s what we think.

Production will be shut down for weeks while the star rests, but the movie should still come out on time.

As someone in his early 30s, I feel like everything I do comes with the risk of hurting myself. I go for a run without stretching every single muscle? Hurt myself. I reach down to pick something up? Hurt myself. I sit in one position for an extended period of time without straightening out my back? Hurt myself. That’s just one of a dozen reasons why I find Tom Cruise so impressive: at 55-years-old, it’s not like Cruise is going to hurt any less after his physical activities, he just finds ways to pick himself back up after something goes wrong.

Look, we’re already pretty pumped for the next Mission: Impossible sequel — with Christopher McQuarrie at the helm, both Rebecca Ferguson and Michelle Monaghan on tap, and all this talk of Tom Cruise performing his most daring stunt yet, we’re more than adequately excited. All those sneak peeks McQuarrie & Co. have been sharing from the set of the sixth installment are just a series of added bonuses.

With this past week’s news that Michelle Monaghan has joined the cast of Mission: Impossible 6, we’re now looking at a pretty awesome group of leading ladies for next year’s installment in the Mission: Impossible franchise. The Monaghan casting was both exciting and not particularly surprising; when writer-director Christopher McQuarrie announced a few unexpected returns to the cast for this film, Monaghan’s character seemed the most obvious piece of unfinished business in the film. This franchise has always attempted to build out continuity between films  —  loose though it may be  —  and bringing back Ethan Hunt’s ex-wife was the perfect way to add emotional gravitas to the spectacle.
