Tom Cruise’s New Mission: Impossible Trailer Drops Tomorrow – But Don’t Believe the Farewell Hype

Hold onto your seats. Tom Cruise just announced—via a heart-stopping photo of himself dangling from a plane's wheels—that the new Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning trailer arrives tomorrow. Fans are already bracing for another round of jaw-dropping stunts, but here's the real question: Is this actually Ethan Hunt's last ride?

The “Final” Mission That Might Not Be

The trailer, expected to mirror the one shown at CinemaCon last week, will likely feature Cruise doing what he does best:

• Hanging from airborne vehicles (this time, a biplane wing)
• Leaping off ships into the abyss
• Generally ignoring the laws of physics

Yet despite the dramatic “Final Reckoning” subtitle, director Chris McQuarrie has already hinted that the franchise could continue. “There's any number of ways that story could play out,” he teased in 2023. Translation: “As long as Tom can run, we'll keep making these.”

Why Mission: Impossible Won't Die

This franchise operates like one of Ethan Hunt's missions:

1. The Plan: “This is the last one!”
2. The Twist: “Just kidding, here's another!”
3. The Escape: Tom Cruise jumps off something tall.

With returning stars (Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Hayley Atwell) and newcomers (Hannah Waddingham, Janet McTeer), the series shows no signs of slowing—even if Cruise's knees eventually do.

The Only Impossible Mission? Retiring Ethan Hunt

Let's be honest:

• Cruise filmed a movie in space with NASA.
• He does 90% of his own stunts at 61.
• He'll probably outlive us all.

So when The Final Reckoning hits theaters on May 23, 2025, expect another cliffhanger—not a farewell.

---

Watch the trailer tomorrow. Scream at the stunts. But remember: In Hollywood, “final” just means “see you in three years.” If this really ends the franchise, I'll let Tom Cruise drop me out of a plane. (Note: Do not take this bet.)
