The first teaser for Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning has arrived, offering a nostalgic look back as Tom Cruise’s iconic character, Ethan Hunt, heads toward what fans believe may be his last mission. Slated to hit theaters on May 23, 2025, this film has audiences speculating if it marks the end of Hunt’s journey.
In this new trailer, memories from the franchise’s beginning are interwoven with thrilling new action sequences. The teaser includes footage from the 1996 film, directed by Brian De Palma, that kicked off the Mission: Impossible saga. A voice-over adds weight to the moment, saying, “Our lives are not defined by any one action. Our lives are the sum of our choices. Everything you were, everything you’ve done, has come to this.” As the teaser culminates, Ethan delivers a powerful line to the audience: “I need you to trust me one last time.”
The trailer has sparked an emotional response from fans, with many expressing nostalgia in the comments. One viewer wrote, “I watched Tom Cruise running in movies when I was 20; now, at almost 40, he’s still running like there’s no tomorrow.” Another quipped, “Director: let’s use CGI. Tom: I am CGI.” Fans are feeling the weight of Cruise’s dedication, with comments like, “Tom Cruise has put everything into these movies. One last ride. Thank you, Tom Cruise,” and “I need you to trust me … one last time. Spoken directly to the audience. I will, Tom!”
Christopher McQuarrie, who has directed each Mission: Impossible movie since Rogue Nation, returns to helm this final installment. Originally titled Dead Reckoning – Part Two, the film was retitled after the release of the seventh movie.
