Today (February 10), during the 2025 Super Bowl a new TV spot for The Final Reckoning was screened, sharing a look at new footage from the forthcoming film.
The spot – which you can see below – depicts Cruise’s Ethan Hunt perform several death-defying stunts and includes quick blink-and-you’ll-miss-it throwbacks to iconic scenes from previous entries in the franchise, all building to Hunt asking for trust “one last time”
Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is being billed as the final entry in the long-running Mission: Impossible franchise. The film is due to hit cinemas on May 23 and will star Tom Cruise along with Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Esai Morales, Pom Klementieff, Vanessa Kirby and more.
Prior to the new trailer’s reveal, Tom Cruise kicked off the 2025 Super Bowl by narrating the sporting event’s cold open for Fox, looking back at the rivalry between the Kansas City Chiefs and the winning Philadelphia Eagles, complete with Mission: Impossible-themed references.
Cruise narrates: “The mission is clear – win here and be remembered forever.” Check out his cold open below.
The new trailer and Cruise’s cold open comes after The Final Reckoning director Christopher McQuarrie hosted a small screening, where he revealed that he overheard an audience member saying they nearly suffered a heart attack while watching a high-octane action scene.
In a three-star review of Dead Reckoning, NME wrote: “The problems come when Dead Reckoning tries to be too clever. Production on the film wrapped in 2021, so Cruise and director Christopher McQuarrie couldn’t have known how prescient the AI themes would prove to be. Now, as ChatGPT dominates the internet and we all wait anxiously for robots to make us redundant, the film’s setup seems like a masterstroke.”
“But it’s sadly also its downfall. After an exciting first third, we drift into a series of bloated exposition sessions where thinly drawn side-characters spend far too long talking up the apocalyptic (but actually quite vague) threat of AI.”
The Mission: Impossible series is based on Bruce Geller’s ’60s TV series of the same name and began with Brian De Palma’s first film in 1996. The seven movies to date have accrued more than $4billion worldwide.
