Official title of Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible 7 revealed

Hollywood star Tom Cruise will be returning as Ethan Hunt in the seventh installment of the Mission Impossible franchise titled Mission: Impossible—Dead Reckoning Part One. Paramount Pictures revealed the official title during its Thursday presentation at CinemaCon, the annual trade show for theatre owners. Cruise, who is usually a regular presence at the convention in Las Vegas, wasn’t in attendance. He attended last year’s CinemaCon to talk up the death-defying stunts in Mission: Impossible 7 before the movie’s release date was pushed back by a year due to Covid.

Audiences got a sneak preview of that anxiety-inducing moment, and more, in the high-stakes trailer, which hasn’t been made available His stunts have gotten so outrageous that everyone in the room laughed when Ethan Hunt nose dives off a cliff while on his motorcycle and then free-falls into the abyss.
