Tom Cruise has remained tight-lipped about whether "Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning" will truly mark the end of the long-running action franchise. While promoting the upcoming film, Cruise hinted at a definitive conclusion, calling it "an epic, emotional journey of the entire franchise."
Director Christopher McQuarrie echoed this sentiment, describing the film as a "satisfying" wrap-up to the storyline that has spanned nearly three decades. The title itself suggests a definitive ending, but Cruise and McQuarrie have left room for speculation.
The film will continue Ethan Hunt's battle against the AI-powered antagonist known as The Entity, picking up from "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One." The star-studded cast includes returning members Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Vanessa Kirby, and Hayley Atwell, alongside new additions Bob Odenkirk and Hannah Waddingham.
"Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning" is set to hit theaters on May 23, 2025, leaving fans wondering whether this is truly the last mission or if Cruise has more stunts left to pull off.
