Summary
Mission: Impossible 8 will bring familiar faces and new challenges to Ethan Hunt and the imf team, including thrilling underwater stunts. Despite his advanced age, Tom Cruise is still committed to performing his signature action scenes, including sprinting and hanging from airplanes. Behind-the-scenes photos hint at a possible time jump for Cruise in Mission: Impossible 8 , with Cruise sporting long hair in the upcoming film.
The production of this film took a long time, and several major changes occurred during this period. Including the adjustment of the title "Mission: Impossible 8", it indicates that this is already a brand new independent film, and is no longer the second episode of "Mission: Impossible: Reckoning" previously planned by Paramount.
Currently, "Mission: Impossible 8" is in the post-production stage and is expected to be released on May 23, 2025.
director Christopher McQueen, the franchise's longtime director, remains at the helm of the film and has been a collaborator with Cruise. He has written scripts for some of the most important action films of Cruise's career (Edge of Tomorrow, Top Gun: Stand Alone).
While Cruise's enthusiasm for his action series "Mission: Impossible" and "Top Gun" is unparalleled in today's Hollywood, the 60-year-old actor will eventually have to leave the company. Starring in action movies.
There's no way he's still literally jumping off a motorcycle off a cliff or climbing on the side of an airplane in his 70s. But Cruise, 61, shows no signs of slowing down yet.
Running Scenes Still Completed by Him
One of the recent behind-the-scenes reveals is that Cruise still insists on performing his signature running scenes that have appeared in many of his films, not just the Mission: Impossible series. . Even Cruise himself believes that if there is no running scene at top speed in the movie, then it is not a true "Mission: Impossible" movie.
Cruise, 61, was recently spotted filming on location in the UK with bloodstains on his shirt, providing clues to what is about to happen in the movie.
As Cruise gets older, it is truly amazing and admirable how focused he is on performing every stunt himself, from running and jumping off cliffs on a motorcycle to climbing on airplanes.
Parts of "Mission: Impossible 8" will take place in London, England.
Among several locations that have been confirmed for "Mission: Impossible 8", London and Derbyshire, England are the two most recent locations added to the list of locations.
Based on recent behind-the-scenes images, it's unclear whether the Derby County scenes in Mission: Impossible 8 were actually filmed there. But from the sight of Cruise running at full speed through the streets of London, with Big Ben clearly visible in the background, there is no doubt that Hunt will indeed visit London in Mission: Impossible 8.
This is consistent with Mission: Impossible - Reckoning being filmed in London. "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Recon" also filmed some scenes in England, including the famous underwater scene. In the London shots of Mission: Impossible 8, there appears to be a large military presence in the background.
Underwater stunts will be done again
Cruise continues to outdo his own stunts in each new Mission: Impossible movie, from climbing the side of a plane as it takes off in "Phantom" to performing a stunt in "Phantom" Climb the world's tallest building in Accord.
This time Cruise is likely planning to surpass his previous underwater scene, which set a record for his longest breath-holding time while filming underwater.
It is said that Kate Winslet recently broke Cruise's record in "Avatar: Waterpath" when she held her breath underwater for 7 minutes and 15 seconds during filming.
Cruise may be preparing to break Winslet's record in Mission: Impossible 8.
Cruise hanging from a plane
The upcoming Mission: Impossible 8 will feature Cruise hanging from a biplane in mid-air in one of the craziest stunts he or any other major Hollywood actor has ever done. Craziest stunt ever done.
There are also some rumors that Cruise will also walk on the plane during the flight. This kind of real scene is simply unimaginable on the screen.
Just when people thought it was insurmountable that he was actually hanging on the plane, he immediately broke all possibilities and created an impossible stunt.
There are no specific details yet as to why Ethan Hunt is hanging from a biplane in Mission: Impossible 8, but it could be that, like the helicopter in Mission: Impossible: Fallout, he might Chasing a desperado in mid-air.
The White Widow will appear again
The White Widow appeared in the two most recent Mission: Impossible movies.
Behind-the-scenes photos of Vanessa Corbier on the set of Mission: Impossible 8 in London confirm her upcoming return to the film. The White Widow could very well be a potential love interest for Ethan Hunt due to the unfortunate fate of Rebecca Ferguson's Issa Foster in The Reckoning.
Like Foster, the White Widow is both Ethan's friend and foe, and one of the most credible candidates for Hunter's romantic interest. While she played the role of a villain in Mission: Impossible: Reckoning, things could change quickly in Mission: Impossible 8 and could see the two team up to fight the intelligence.
However, Grace, played by Hayley Atwell, also appears in slightly romantic scenes.
The villain Paris will return
Paris seemed to have faced life and death in "Fatal Reckoning", but miraculously survived at the end of the movie.
Recently, actor Simon Pegg posted a message on social media, confirming that the villain Paris, played by Pom Klementieff, will return in "Mission: Impossible 8". She was in "Reckoning" debuted in.
Simon's post was captioned: "Hard to Kill! If you think you've seen the last of Paris...think again." Paige and Clemontieff also posted a photo of themselves It appears to be in the UK, suggesting they may already be filming for Mission: Impossible 8.
The Arctic where the submarine sank
The underwater scene that could set a new record was filmed in the Arctic, where the Sevastopol submarine sank. At the end of "Reckoning," Paris tells Ethan that the key he holds can be used to enter the Intelligence's control room, which is located in Sevastopol.
The first act of "Mission: Impossible 8" may take place on a submarine in the Arctic, where Ethan and his team may complete a new record-breaking underwater feat. Considering Ethan will continue to track the intelligence in "Mission: Impossible 8", the sunken submarine in the Arctic is the biggest clue he has at the end of "Reckoning".
Ferguson not interested in returning
The death of Rebecca Ferguson's character Issa Foster in "Reckoning" adds some complexity to the plot of "Mission: Impossible 8".
Ferguson expressed her disinterest in reprising her role as Issa Foster. She said in a recent interview: "Do you remember when we talked about those three-picture contracts in Hollywood? Well, sometimes those contracts come up and the actors may choose to accept it or reject it. So we're at that moment now "I don't want to be part of the team anymore, it just doesn't make sense to me and I feel like we're heading in that direction."
Her decision was probably wise considering that Ferguson's character died in "Reckoning." .
will be filmed on an aircraft carrier
This will be the third time Cruise has filmed a movie on an aircraft carrier.
According to the filming location confirmed by behind-the-scenes news, a US aircraft carrier in the Adriatic Sea will be one of the filming locations. While Cruise has extensive experience filming on aircraft carriers, thanks to his work on the "Top Gun" series, this was a first for the "Mission: Impossible" series.
According to reports, the USS George W. Bush will be the fourth aircraft carrier to be filmed in the Tom Cruise movie. The earlier "Top Gun" used the USS Enterprise as the aircraft carrier at the beginning and end of the film. The sequel shows scenes of pilots at work and planes taking off, which were filmed aboard the USS Lincoln. For the final mission, the Lone Ranger and his comrades deployed aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt.
Aircraft carriers have basically become a regular scene for Cruise's filming, but they have never been seen in the "Mission: Impossible" series.
Behind-the-scenes photos hint at a time jump
Cruise's long hair in the behind-the-scenes photos hints at the passage of time.
Through behind-the-scenes photos and videos of Mission: Impossible 8, we can observe a change in Ethan Hunt's hairstyle, which hints at a time gap between "Reckoning" and "Mission: Impossible 8" jump.
Cruise once had long hair when he played Ethan Hunt in "State of the Union" and "Ghost Protocol." However, in Reckoning, his hair is kept in a traditional trim, creating a clear contrast to the behind-the-scenes content surrounding Mission: Impossible 8.
While the time span between Reckoning and Mission: Impossible - 2025 before the film's release - is unclear, it provides an interesting angle for fan speculation and plot theories.
