After months of anticipation, Paramount Pictures finally released the official trailer for Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning today (April 7th). Continue reading to check out the action-packed first look.

Tom Cruise once again returns to star in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, which is the direct sequel to 2023’s Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. In the previous film, Ethan Hunt and his IMF (Impossible Missions Force) team embarked on their most dangerous mission yet: Trying to track down a terrifying new weapon (named The Entity) that threatens all of humanity before it fell into the wrong hands. With control of the future and the fate of the world at stake, and dark forces from Ethan’s past closing in, a deadly race around the globe began. As chaos and confusion ensued through out, Dead Reckoning Part One ended with Ethan finding out that the true location of The Entity’s core was on a sunken Russian submarine, setting the stage for The Final Reckoning. 

In addition to Cruise, the film also stars Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Esai Morales, Pom Klementieff, Henry Czerny, Mariela Garriga, Holt McCallany, Janet McTeer, Nick Offerman, Hannah Waddingham, Tramell Tillman, Shea Whigham, Greg Tarzan Davis, Charles Parnell, Mark Gatiss, Rolf Saxon, Lucy Tulugarjuk and Angela Bassett. 

Following his work on the previous three films, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, Mission: Impossible – Fallout and Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, Christopher McQuarrie returns as the director of the film. McQuarrie and Erik Jendresen wrote the film based on the television series created by Bruce Geller. On top of their other duties, McQuarrie and Tom Cruise produced the film while David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, Don Granger, Tommy Gormley, Chris Brock and Susan E. Novick served as executive producers.
