Tom Cruise is set to make a high-octane return to the Croisette as Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning will have its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on May 14. The much-anticipated eighth installment of the legendary spy franchise will screen out of competition, with Cruise and director/co-writer Christopher McQuarrie in attendance.
This marks Cruise’s third Cannes appearance, following his 1992 debut for Far and Away and his celebrated return in 2022 with Top Gun: Maverick, where he was honored with a surprise Palme d'Or and led a widely praised masterclass.
Billed as the final chapter in Ethan Hunt’s saga, the film promises an “unforgettable cinematic experience,” as Cruise once again dives into action with his IMF team. Joining him on screen are Hayley Atwell, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames, Esai Morales, Pom Klementieff, and more.
The film releases in theaters shortly after its Cannes debut—May 21 in France and May 23 in the U.S., distributed by Paramount Pictures.
