At the end of Dead Reckoning, Ethan Hunt (Cruise) retrieved the cruciform key to the all-powerful AI known as the Entity. In The Final Reckoning, Ethan and his team must locate the sunken Sevastopol, a Russian submarine, and destroy the Entity onboard.
Besides Cruise, The Final Reckoning stars Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Vanessa Kirby, Esai Morales, Pom Klementieff, and Angela Bassett.
Will Mission: Impossible 8 be Cruiseâs swan song? The Final Reckoning is rumored to be Cruiseâs final appearance in the franchise. When asked by Empire if this is it for him in Mission: Impossible, Cruise laughed and said, âYou gotta see the movie.â
McQuarrie also remained coy when asked if this would be Cruiseâs final film as Ethan Hunt. McQuarrie, though, teased that The Final Reckoning will encompass Cruiseâs three-decade journey with the character.
âIt is, I hope, the satisfying conclusion to a 30-year story arc,â McQuarrie said. âIâm pretty confident that people are going to feel that the title was appropriate.â
Mission: Impossible â The Final Reckoning opens in theaters on May 23, 2025.
