Almost a year and a half since the release of Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning, Tom Cruise and the production company Paramount Pictures have decided to share news about the eighth episode. In addition to revealing the title of this opus, The Final Reckoning, the first images, released yesterday, ask us about the fate of the saga and the character of Ethan Hunt. Are we heading straight towards the conclusion of the franchise? Whatever happens, Tom Cruise’s character will have to face all the decisions he made and face his destiny.
Paramount Pictures had put fans of the saga Mission Impossible on guard during the last days: the first trailer for the eighth part of the adventures of Ethan Hunt was going to be broadcast any minute! Rather than leaving the public in the dark, a date was set: November 11. Yes, yesterday, the whole world was able to discover the first images of the sequel to Mission Impossible : Dead Reckoningtitled The Final Reckoning to stick to this mission divided into two parts. To respect tradition, Paramount did not forget to include a passage of Tom Cruise in full sprint!
After a seventh episode which received good reviews from the press and spectators, even if it left more than one wary and was not the expected financial success, unlike the Fallout episode which remains Tom Cruise’s highest rated film on Rotten Tomatoes, The Final Reckoning wants to hit the box office! For this, Christopher McQuarrie and Paramount have, it seems, pulled out all the stops to deliver a spectacular episode. Especially since it could be… the last of the saga! Due to the name of this opus and the promotional poster, showing Tom Cruise’s face in black and white, doubt looms…
An extraordinary budget and a future that seems very bleak for Ethan Hunt!
Mission Impossible : The Final Reckoning will this be Tom Cruise’s last appearance as Ethan Hunt? As we explained not long ago, the future of the franchise could have created some points of friction between the American actor and the production company. The latter wanted to promote the film as the final episode of the saga in order to encourage spectators to go to the cinemas to see it. Tom Cruise, for his part, was not really of this opinion and does not seem to want to hang up his gloves yet. In any case, given the trailer available at the top of the article, this eighth part promises to be even more epic than the previous one.
It must be said that, for this, the project executives would have put all the chances on their side to offer a blockbuster that lived up to the expected entertainment. Recently, The Hollywood Reporter advanced the modest sum of 400 million dollarsor 100 million more than the previous one, yet another proof that expectations are enormous around this opus! Unlike previous feature films, the next Mission Impossible will not be released this summer… but in the spring. In France, the date is already set for May 21, 2025.
