‘Mission: Impossible: The Final Reckoning’ Will Make World Premiere At Cannes Film Festival On May 14th

Mission: Impossible: The Final Reckoning will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival this May, Variety reports.

The Final Reckoning will follow Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt as he and his team must race against time to stop a rogue AI, The Entity, from causing destructive chaos across the globe. 

Now the spy action thriller is set to debut Wednesday, May 14th, Out Of Competition at the French festival’s Grand Théâtre Lumière, with Cruise and writer/director Christopher McQuarrie in attendance.

This will be Cruise’s third visit to Cannes after the premiere of Top Gun: Maverick in 2022 and Ron Howard’s Far and Away in 1992. The actor has also received an honorary Palme d’Or and taught a masterclass during his appearances.

With the lackluster box office returns of the series’ previous entry, Dead Reckoning in 2023, the film’s distributor, Paramount Pictures, has been hinting at The Final Reckoning being the last entry in the series, which began in 1996. The studio has also long discussed premiering the film at Cannes, both to help drum up audience interest, which seems to be working so far.

Mission: Impossible: The Final Reckoning will also star Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Esai Morales, Pom Klementieff, Henry Czerny, Mariela Garriga and Angela Bassett.
