Christopher McQuarrie is hyped about the reaction to the upcoming Mission: Impossible film, with a screening for a select group of fans showing just how intense the action sequences are. During an interview with Empire magazine, McQuarrie shared that one fan described nearly having a heart attack due to the thrilling sequences, and the director couldn’t help but feel proud, saying, “I guess we did something right.”
The movie promises to push the boundaries of action, with McQuarrie revealing that Tom Cruise has performed some of the most difficult stunts ever seen in the franchise. Though the director kept specific details under wraps, he teased that these scenes will be the toughest Cruise has ever filmed. Fans have already been treated to a sneak peek of some jaw-dropping moments, including Cruise diving into water to board a submarine and piloting a plane in other heart-pounding sequences.
Alongside Cruise, the star-studded cast includes Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Vanessa Kirby, Hayley Atwell, Shea Whigham, Pom Klementieff, and Henry Czerny. Despite a production delay due to the writers’ strike, the highly anticipated Mission: Impossible: The Final Reckoning is set to hit theaters on May 23, 2025. It looks like McQuarrie and the team are ready to take things to a whole new level of excitement.
