In a brand-new teaser for the much awaited newest installment in the Mission: Impossible film series, Tom Cruise may be seen risking his life.
For the seventh installment of the series, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, which hits theaters in July, the Hollywood star reprises his role as Ethan Hunt.
Hunt does several high-octane exploits in the action-packed footage, including riding a motorcycle off a cliff and fighting with a knife on a moving train.
The film begins with Hunt riding through a forest to the edge of a mountain as Eugene Kittridge (Henry Czerny), in a voiceover, declares: “Our lives are the sum of our experiences.
“Ethan, this mission of yours is going to cost you, dearly.”
As images of military weapons and missile explosions flash, another voiceover says: “The world is changing. Truth is vanishing. War is coming.”
The trailer also offers a closer look at the film’s antagonist, played by Esai Morales. He taunts Ethan, saying: “It’s been a long time, friend. You have no idea the power I represent. It knows your story, and how it ends.”
Ethan’s passion for the mission is also heard as he tells agent Luther Stickell, played by Ving Rhames, and Benji Dunn, portrayed by Simon Pegg: “Your life will always matter more to me than my own.
“None of our lives can matter more than this mission,” says Luther to which Ethan replies: “I don’t accept that.”
High-speed car chases and fist fights abound and the 141-second clip keeps viewers on the edge of their seats until the end when Ethan is hanging on by a thread as a train carriage nosedives into water below.
The film will see Ethan and his IMF team embark on their “most dangerous mission yet” as they track down a new weapon that threatens all of humanity before it falls into the wrong hands.
With control of the future and the fate of the world at stake, and dark forces from Ethan’s past closing in, a deadly race around the globe begins. The film was directed by Christopher McQuarrie, who also worked with Cruise on the box office hit Top Gun: Maverick.
Famous faces including Hayley Atwell, Rebecca Ferguson and Vanessa Kirby will also star in the film.
The cast also includes Shea Whigham, Pom Klementieff, Rob Delaney, Cary Elwes, Indira Varma, Mark Gatiss, Charles Parnell, Greg Tarzan Davis and Frederick Schmidt.
The second part of the film is expected to arrive next year as both parts were pushed back due to the Covid pandemic.
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One is set to be released in cinemas on July 11th.
