    • Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning**
  • Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning* is an American action spy film set to be released in 2025. Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, the film features a screenplay co-written by McQuarrie and Erik Jendresen. This movie serves as a sequel to *Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One* (2023) and marks the eighth entry in the *Mission: Impossible* franchise. Key cast members reprising their roles include Tom Cruise, Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Henry Czerny, and Angela Bassett.
    • Development and Production**

In January 2019, Tom Cruise announced the decision to film the seventh and eighth installments of the series back-to-back, with McQuarrie on board to direct and co-write both films. However, plans for the eighth film underwent changes in February 2021. Shortly after, both returning and new cast members were revealed, alongside the announcement that composer Lorne Balfe, who had previously scored two other films in the series, would return for *Final Reckoning*. Ultimately, Balfe departed from the project and was replaced by his frequent collaborators, Max Aruj and Alfie Godfrey.

Filming commenced in March 2022 in the United Kingdom, with additional locations including Malta, South Africa, and Norway. Production faced a halt in July 2023 due to the SAG-AFTRA strike but resumed in March 2024, concluding in November 2024. Originally titled *Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two*, the film dropped its subtitle in October 2023, with the new title being revealed in November 2024. With an estimated budget ranging from $300 to $400 million, it ranks among the most expensive films ever produced.

    • Release and Reception**
  • The Final Reckoning* premiered globally in Tokyo on May 5, 2025, and was screened out of competition at the 78th Cannes Film Festival on May 14. It is scheduled for theatrical release in the United States on May 23, distributed by Paramount Pictures. The film has already garnered positive reviews from critics.
