Nobody runs likeTom Cruise. Absolutely nobody. And that is abundantly clear in the first little image tease from the highly anticipated upcoming sequelMission: Impossible 7, which writer-directorChristopher McQuarriejust shared on social media.
McQuarrie is not only the first director to helm twoMissionmovies with the delightful throwbackRogue Nationand the positively epicFallout, but he’s also the first to make two at the same time. When McQuarrie agreed to return for moreMission, they decided to shootMission: Impossible 7andMission: Impossible 8back-to-back. Filming was just getting underway when the pandemic hit last year, but as you may or may not know production started back up again during the summer.
We still don’t know too much about the film’s story, but Cruise is joined by franchise mainstaysSimon Pegg,Rebecca Ferguson, andVing Rhamesin this sequel withVanessa KirbyandAngela Bassettreprising theirFalloutroles andHenry Czernycoming back as Kittridge for the first time since the firstMission. Newcomers includeHayley Atwell,Pom Klementieff, andEsai Morales.
