Fresh off a record-breaking run returning to the role of Pete "Maverick" Mitchell in Top Gun: Maverick, Tom Cruise's goodbye to Ethan Hunt approaches ever closer with Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One coming in July, and Paramount recently released the official trailer.
In the film directed once again by Christopher McQuarrie, Hunt and his IMF team take on what is said to be their most dangerous mission yet. There's a new humanity-threatening weapon about, and so they must prevent it from falling into nefarious hands, with the future and fate of the world at stake. Dark forces from Ethan’s past are closing in, and a deadly global race begins. Confronted by a mysterious, all-powerful enemy known as "The Community", Ethan must consider the importance of the mission over the lives of those he cares about most.
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One teams Cruise as Hunt with Hayley Atwell as Grace, bringing back teammates Ving Rhames as Luther Stickell, Simon Pegg as Benji Dunn, and Rebecca Ferguson as Ilsa Faust. The film also features Esai Morales as Gabriel, the film's primary antagonist, Pom Klementieff as his assassin ally, and Charles Parnell, Mark Gatiss, Indira Varma, and Rob Delaney as "The Community", the heads of a group made up of leaders of various intelligence agencies. Shea Whigham plays Jasper Briggs, The Community's enforcer with Greg Tarzan Davis playing his partner. Frederick Schmidt returns from Fallout as Zola Mitsopolis, now bringing his sister Alanna along, played by Vanessa Kirby. She's a black-market arms dealer following in the footsteps of her mother Max, played by Vanessa Redgrave, essentially the villain in the first film. Also returning from the first film is Henry Czerny as Eugene Kittridge, the former director of the IMF. Mariela Garriga and Cary Elwes's roles have yet to be disclosed.
Dead Reckoning is written by Christopher McQuarrie & Erik Jendresen and of course, based on the original 1960s TV series which was created by Bruce Geller, mostly starring Peter Graves. A presentation of Paramount Pictures and Skydance, the film is produced by Cruise and McQuarrie, and executive produced by David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, Don Granger, Tommy Gormley, Chris Brock, and Susan E. Novick.
As a Paramount film, it is destined to stream on Paramount+ following a theatrical run that begins on July 12, though like with Maverick will likely arrive at Cruise's discretion with a longer run beyond the 45-day window the company has been fond of lately. Part two, as it is still labeled unlike Avengers: Infinity War and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, is set for release on June 28, 2024.
