Tom Cruise Debuts Mission: Impossible - Final Reckoning at Cannes May 14

Tom Cruise is set to premiere 'Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning' at the Cannes Film Festival on May 14, ahead of its theatrical release on May 23. This marks Cruise's third appearance at Cannes, after previously promoting 'Far and Away' in 1992 and receiving an honorary Palme d’Or for 'Top Gun: Maverick' in 2022. Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, the film features Cruise reprising his role as Ethan Hunt, alongside returning cast members such as Ving Rhames and Simon Pegg, as well as new additions like Hayley Atwell and Nick Offerman. The film promises to deliver high-octane thrills and stunts, and its trailer has garnered enthusiastic reactions from fans. The Cannes screening will take place out of competition, showcasing the excitement surrounding the franchise's eighth installment, which continues the battle against an evil artificial intelligence known as the Entity. The full lineup for the festival will be revealed shortly before the event begins on May 13.
