The Super Bowl has become a movie trailer showcase over the last ten years, but most are 90 second teaser spots (a montage of which we’ll have tomorrow), but the first full trailer for Mission: Impossible – Fallout has been released. The sixth film in the franchise, written and directed by returning Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation director Christopher McQuarrie, finds Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and the IMF team seemingly paying for a lifetime of tough choices. Hopefully, given Cruise’s age and declining box office appeal, this will be the finale or at least a transition for the franchise, which-aside from the regrettable second installment, has been one of the longest-running, best franchises in all of movies. MI: Fallout opens July 27, 2018.
The best intentions often come back to haunt you. Mission: Impossible – Fallout finds Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his IMF team (Alec Baldwin, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames) along with some familiar allies (Rebecca Ferguson, Michelle Monaghan) in a race against time after a mission gone wrong. Henry Cavill, Angela Bassett, and Vanessa Kirby also join the dynamic cast.
So, he gets all angst-y and has to redeem himself, I guess?

It was light on plot. Quite light.

Bring this on! I love this franchise! From the second one on, I have been totally grabbed. Four. Sequels. Going on five. This never happens. I don’t think this is the last one for Cruise, Ethan is in a dark place clearly, but somehow the trailer doesn’t feel weighty enough. Not saying it won’t be the end, I would just be surprised. My guess is, they’ll squeeze one more out of the guy. He actually doesn’t look bad. Ving Rhames looks pretty old tho.
On anther note I can’t wait to get a look at the mustache that caused all the trouble.

There’s not a lot of plot to the trailer, but I think the fact that they’re bringing back Ethan’s wife, which is my favorite storyline through the franchise, tells you there’s going to be some weight to this. Rhames is looking old and was last film too. I wish Renner would have stayed on; he was a great addition, but Cavill could take this thing over if they want to pass the baton. And, yes, I want to see the most expensive mustache in film history lol.
