news Mission: Impossible 8 Trailer Hints at Franchise Finale with "The Final Reckoning"

[Movie Info]

The latest trailer for Mission: Impossible 8, now titled The Final Reckoning, suggests this might be Tom Cruise's last mission. Originally planned as Dead Reckoning Part Two, the film’s title change follows underwhelming box office returns for the seventh installment, which earned $570 million globally on a $291 million budget.

With a staggering $400 million production cost, The Final Reckoning ranks among the most expensive movies ever. Paramount’s decision to market it as the series’ end reportedly goes against Cruise’s hopes. He’s previously stated he wants to keep making Mission: Impossible films, drawing inspiration from 81-year-old Harrison Ford’s endurance in action roles.

Rumor has it that Paramount aims to premiere the film at next year’s Cannes Film Festival. Longtime Mission cast members Ving Rhames and Simon Pegg are returning, alongside newer additions Hayley Atwell and Pom Klementieff. Angela Bassett and Vanessa Kirby are also back, with Ted Lasso's Hannah Waddingham joining the lineup.

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is scheduled for a summer 2024 release, hinting at an epic send-off for Cruise’s action-packed franchise.

They mentioned when this was announced that it was the final film in the series, thats why it was originally 2 parts.

I didn't know that.

I suppose it's time for it to end though. There were one too many impossible missions that eventually one has to be impossible.

I’m a big fan of Tom Cruise’s movies. Mission: Impossible which is super popular and the new title, 'The Final Reckoning'. It's normal for studios to invest time and energy in big film projects like this. The amount invested in the movie is so huge.

Based on facts, Mission: Impossible has been a very awesome franchise and even if 'The Final Reckoning' is the last one with Tom Cruise, that doesn't mean that the series will disappear just like that. We often see movies get rebooted. That might be the case. Who knows?
