Big games call for big movies, and there aren’t many bigger in 2025 thanMission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning, which will seeTom Cruisestar as the daredevil IMF agent Ethan Hunt, purportedly for thefinaltime. We’ve just been treated to anotheraction packed tease of the film, which will hit multiplexes on June 28, 2025 — and unlike the previous outing,Dead Reckoning, this one is getting an exclusive run in IMAX theaters to prevent the previous problems from arising.
As usual, we seeCruise risking his life by skirting death once again, hanging upside down from planes and running, running, running as if his life depends on it. And from the looks lf things, Ethan’s lifetrulydoes look like it depends on it. Our favorite franchise veteransSimon PeggandVing Rhamesare back for one last ride too, along with the likes ofTed LassostandoutHannah Waddingham. The film, like the previous three, is directed by the action guruChristopher McQuarrie.
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoningleft all of us on the edge of our seats with a hugelydramatic cliffhanger(or cliff diver, after that motorbike stunt), as Ethan Hunt and his team found themselves in a battle against The Entity—a rogue AI with the power to manipulate global technology and threaten world security, so basically ChatGPT with an attitude. Ethan’s mission was to secure a mysterious key that could either control or destroy the AI, leading to a pulse-pounding final act aboard a high-speed train.
While Ethan and Grace (Hayley Atwell), a skilled thief reluctantly aiding the team, fought to retrieve one half of the key, tragedy struck elsewhere. Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson), Ethan’s close ally and love interest, was killed in close combat in Venice with Gabriel (Esai Morales), a mercenary for hire with ties to Ethan’s past and a direct link to The Entity. Though Ethan successfully secured half of the key by the film’s end, its true purpose remained a mystery—at least to the team. The audience, however, was given a glimpse of the AI’s original resting place — a sunken submarine hiding secretsthat will shape the next chapter.
Stay tuned for more updates onMission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning, which will premiere exclusively in IMAX. The film is set to hit theaters on July 24, 2025.
