The wait is over as the new trailer for Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is here, with every second of the two-minute clip packed with sensational stunts and movie throwbacks.
The sequel, which is released on May 21 in the UK and two days later in the US, is the eighth instalment of the blockbuster franchise and said to be the last outing for Tom Cruise’s agent Ethan Hunt for now.
With a reported production budget of around $400million, it’s fair to say that director Christopher McQuarrie is sending him off with an almighty bang and the teaser shows the 62-year-old dangling out of planes, in submarines and running all over the planet.
As Ethan’s illustrious history was reflected on in the footage, throwback clips from previous Mission: Impossible movies played out – set to the iconic theme tune.
‘If we want to bring the world back from the brink, we have to deal with him,’ it was declared.
While plot details have been kept firmly under wraps, it is revealed that Ethan’s team ‘has been betrayed’, meaning all their secrets are ‘compromised’.
The agent was warned: ‘Everything you were, everything you’ve done, has come to this.’
‘I need you to trust me. One last time,’ he urged in the final seconds.
However, while film fans were loving every breathless second of Tom, there is another member of the star-studded cast that everyone is buzzing to see even more of – Severance legend Tramell Tillman.
In a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment, the Apple TV+ star could be seen looking very cryptic, and giving severe Seth Milchick vibes, as he asked Ethan: ‘What exactly is your plan?’
Although he was on our screens for mere milliseconds, commenters were thrilled at seeing the Seth Milchick actor outside of the acclaimed Apple TV+ series.
Rushing to Reddit, Griffshan celebrated: ‘Milkshake is in this? F**k yeah. Can’t wait to see the final instalment of the greatest ongoing franchise there is.’
‘Right?! Looks like Mr Milkshake getting more roles already, very deserved,’ Dogecoin_pleasures agreed.
‘It’s great to see Tramell Tillman in more roles, his Mr Milchick the best part of Severance,’ Alive-Ad-5245 penned.
Homesterkid commented: ‘Genuinely shocked when Tramell Tillman showed up. Was already planning to see this but genuinely excited now to see him smash this.’
Curve-Inspector penned: ‘Didn’t know Mr Milchik was in this. I am so down for him after Severance. So happy for him! [sic].’
Simon Pegg, Vanessa Kirby and Hayley Atwell are among those returning to the fold, while Tramell will also join newcomers Hannah Waddingham, Nick Offerman and Katy O’Brian.
Other movie lovers couldn’t get enough of Tom famously doing his own stunts, declaring the upcoming sequel the best ‘movie of 2025’.
Justthekoufax cheered: ‘Does anyone run better on camera than Tom Cruise?’
Coldwarspy quipped: ‘I like how this guy risks his life to entertain. Hanging from planes doesn’t really get old to me.’
‘Im so excited, can never get tired of Tom Cruise saving the world [sic],’ Juancorleone posted.
As Gamer0607 added: ‘Yeah, this will be the best movie of 2025. Thanks Tom for doing all these crazy stunts for us.’
Thankfully, we only have a few weeks to wait for Tom’s latest mission to hit the big screen – but will he survive it?
Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning will be in cinemas on May 21.
