Here’s your first look at Mission: Impossible 8, which is now officially titled Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning.
Paramount dropped the teaser trailer this morning, which ends with the title reveal. The clip shows a series that has become synonymous with the long-running franchise: Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt continent-hopping, fighting off enemies and a classic running scene. The short clip is just over 2 minutes.
Christopher McQuarrie has returned to direct the flick from his own script and is producing alongside Cruise, with David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, Don Granger and Chris Brock serving as exec producers. The film is slated for release on May 23.
Starring alongside Cruise are Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Esai Morales, Pom Klementieff, Vanessa Kirby, Mariela Garriga, Henry Czerny, Shea Whigham, Greg Tarzan Davis, Charles Parnell and Frederick Schmidt. Others making their Mission: Impossible debut in the eighth installment include Holt McCallany, Janet McTeer, Nick Offerman, Hannah Waddingham, Katy O’Brian and Stephen Oyoung. Today we also revealed that Angela Bassett will star in the film.
Plot details are still under wraps. The last film in the franchise, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, took $567M worldwide last year.
