Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning Stars Shared A Sweet Holiday Greeting From The Arctic, And I’m Shivering Just Watching The Video

by

As a seasoned moviegoer who has braved countless Los Angeles traffic jams for premieres and screenings, I must confess that watching the holiday greeting video from the cast of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning made me shiver not just from the arctic chill, but also in anticipation. The thought of Simon Pegg, Pom Klementieff, and Greg Tarzan Davis belting out “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” amidst subzero temperatures is enough to make anyone feel a bit frosty.

Living in Los Angeles, my winter is quite distinct from what most other parts of the country experience. Instead of battling freezing temperatures and heavy snowfall, I’m enjoying a balmy 67 degrees as I compose this piece. Yet, watching a festive video greeting from the cast of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, filmed on location in the arctic, makes me feel a bit nippy despite the warm weather here.

The official Twitter handle for the Mission: Impossible series shared a video featuring Simon Pegg, Greg Tarzan Davis, and Pom Klementieff singing “We Wish You a Merry Christmas.” The post is accompanied by the message, “A frosty holiday greeting from the set of #MissionImpossible – The Final Reckoning.” The location isn’t explicitly stated (the large ship in the backdrop hints at a port or coastal area), and despite being well-wrapped up, they appear quite chilly.

To clearly identify them in the video, you might need to squint a bit because Simon Pegg and Pom Klenentieff are covered up due to wearing face masks. However, considering the environment they’re in, it’s understandable that they’d prefer to minimize exposed skin.

In the movie “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning”, it appears that the actors are in the Arctic due to a connection with the submarine known as The Sevastopol, which was introduced in “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning” last year. To refresh your memory, this Russian sub carries an advanced artificial intelligence called The Entity, capable of causing global destruction if misused or freed. A crucial two-part key is required to control The Entity, and at the end of the 2023 blockbuster, Tom Cruise’s character, Ethan Hunt, managed to obtain that key.

In early November, a sneak peek at the entire action sequence (which features stunning footage shot in the Arctic) was made available in the teaser trailer for Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.

Simon Pegg will return to portray Benji Dunn, the dependable IMF agent and Ethan Hunt’s trusty sidekick; Pom Klementieff is set to reappear as Paris, the one who heroically saved Ethan at the conclusion of their last adventure; and Greg Tarzan Davis will come back as Degas, a character who seems to be teaming up with the protagonist for his upcoming mission, having previously been an adversary in the previous movie.

In the anticipated movie due in 2025, you’ll find Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Vanessa Kirby, Esai Morales, Angela Bassett, and Henry Czerny gracing the screen as well.

Originally intended for a theater release in June 2023, the Hollywood work stoppage of 2023 disrupted those plans, pushing back the premiere of “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” to May 23, 2025. As one of TopMob’s highly anticipated films for the coming year, you can look forward to plenty of coverage as we count down to its debut.
