2025 Cannes Film Festival Photos: Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning
- On May 14, 2025, Tom Cruise unveiled the latest installment of the Mission: Impossible franchise at the 78th Cannes Film Festival held in southern France.
- The premiere came after an extensive international promotional tour that had been postponed due to pandemic restrictions and industry strike actions, occurring amid ongoing questions about the franchise's continuation.
- Director Christopher McQuarrie, who began directing with 2015’s Rogue Nation, praised Cruise's extreme stunt work including a 22-minute propeller exposure and a 3,000-metre freefall jump.
- The $400 million film, the franchise's eighth, received mostly positive reviews with critics calling its action "astonishing" and it earned a five-minute standing ovation at Cannes.
- The event boosted enthusiasm for one of Hollywood's most globalised franchises, though McQuarrie and Cruise offered mixed signals on whether this installment is a conclusion or continuation.
