As we celebrate the 25th anniversary since the release of the first Mission: Impossible film, and on the heels of Top Gun: Maverick being released this Friday, Paramount and Skydance have unleashed the trailer for Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One, and it looks f***ing awesome!
“Dead Reckoning” is the seventh chapter in the spy thriller series, which stars Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt, a special agent of the Impossible Missions Force (IMF).
The trailer gives us a glimpse at the return of several “Mission: Impossible” series cast members, including franchise stalwart Ving Rhames, as well as Simon Pegg and Rebecca Ferguson, and “Fallout” star Vanessa Kirby.
In addition, we get some nods to the original film with a fight scene atop of a train, as well as the return of Henry Czerny, who appeared in the original 1996 “Mission Impossible” as IMF director Eugene Kittridge, in a tense scene between him and Cruise’s Hunt.
We also have some new characters joining the franchise, including Esai Morales (replacing Nicolas Hoult) as the big bad, Hayley Atwell as a new character named Grace, and Pom Klementieff in an undisclosed role.
Cruise also winds up in some of his biggest stunts yet including driving off a cliff while riding a motorcycle.
“Dead Reckoning” is written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie, who previously helmed “Rogue Nation” in 2015 and “Fallout” in 2018. “Part One” will be followed by “Dead Reckoning: Part Two,” in 2024, which is expected to be the final appearance of Cruise as Ethan Hunt. “Part One” is produced by Cruise, McQuarrie, J.J. Abrams, David Ellison and Jake Meyers, and distributed by Paramount Pictures. The series is based on the original ABC “Mission: Impossible” television series from 1966.
“Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One” will be released in theaters on July 14, 2023. Watch the full trailer below.
