Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning Super Bowl Spot Teases Tom Cruise’s Epic Farewell As Ethan Hunt

by

In the conclusion of “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One,” numerous puzzles were left unsolved regarding the ongoing battle between Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and the artificial intelligence called the Entity. Notably, there won’t be another sequel directly titled “Part Two.” Instead, the next installment in the Mission: Impossible series will be named “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning,” suggesting that this might be Hunt’s final mission or even his last appearance. However, considering Tom Cruise’s enthusiasm for the character, it is possible he could continue playing the role for several more years.

The initial trailer for “Final Reckoning” was released in November 2024, however, a fresh one has been unveiled ahead of the Super Bowl. This implies that the Super Bowl isn’t the sole event to excite adrenaline levels among viewers. The new trailer embodies all the elements one would anticipate from a “Mission: Impossible” preview, featuring thrilling action scenes and Ethan collaborating extensively with his team members – Luther (Ving Rhames), Benji (Simon Pegg) and Grace (Hayley Atwell).

As a die-hard gamer, I’ve always been captivated by the “Mission: Impossible” series, known for its gritty, real-life stunts whenever possible. With a title like “The Final Reckoning,” you can bet there won’t be any shortcuts from Director Christopher McQuarrie this summer. He’s gearing up to deliver an action-packed spectacle that’ll leave audiences breathless!

Is the Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning trailer the beginning of the end?

There have been whispers about a potential reboot for the “Mission: Impossible” series, with a new actor potentially stepping into the lead role, despite Glen Powell denying rumors that he’ll replace Tom Cruise in future installments. While Cruise is capable of continuing if he chooses, the fate of the franchise hinges on the success of “The Final Reckoning.” This is especially significant for the studio because the movie’s financial success is crucial – initial estimates suggest it cost around $400 million, so it would need to earn nearly $1 billion just to cover its costs. If these predictions hold true, “The Final Reckoning” could become one of the biggest box office flops of 2025.

Currently, the trailer for “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” has really pumped us up! The stunts appear breathtaking, which is a significant draw of these movies. It’s also advisable for viewers to brace themselves, as director Christopher McQuarrie revealed an intriguing reaction about a particularly intense scene from Empire magazine (via GamesRadar): “During a small screening, someone said, ‘I was struggling to breathe during the whole sequence. I came close to having a heart attack.’ And I thought, ‘It seems we’ve achieved something remarkable.’

Based on the trailers we’ve watched, that response could be applicable to multiple sequences, ranging from Ethan exploring a submerged submarine to him dangling off an aircraft. No matter which scene it refers to, attending “Mission: Impossible – Fallout” in theaters on May 23 is a task we’re eager and ready to undertake.
