Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning teaser hints at franchise end

The much-anticipated tease of Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning has been released on Monday, hinting at franchise finale.

Tom Cruise will be reappraising his role at IMF agent Ethen Hunt as the film is set to be released in theatres on May 23, 2025.

Fans wonder if this is the end for Ethan Hunt.

The teaser plays on the nostalgia for the franchise including footage from the Brian De Palma-directed 1996 film Mission: Impossible, from where it all began.

“Our lives are not defined by any one action. Our lives are the sum of our choices. Everything you were, everything you’ve done, has come to this,” says a voice-over in the trailer.

It ends with Ethan saying, “I need you to trust me one last time.” And cue tears for fans.

Christopher McQuarrie, who has directed every movie in the film series since Rogue Nation, is back to helm this film.

Initially, Mission: Impossible 7 and 8 were shot as Dead Reckoning – Part One and Two, but after the seventh film, the film was retitled.

Apart from Top, Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Vanessa Kirby, Pom Klemetieff, Shea Whigham, Angela Bassett, Esai Morales, Henry Czerny, Holt McCallany, Nick Offerman and Greg Tarzan Davis will be starting in the movie, which promises to be an action pack thriller.
