Tom Cruise is back with more death-defying stunts in the new trailer for “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.” It hits theaters on May 23.

This could be the last we see of Cruise as IMF agent Ethan Hunt, as “The Final Reckoning” teases a dramatic ending to the “Mission: Impossible” series after eight movies. At the end of 2023’s “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning,” (to which “Final Reckoning” was originally billed as a Part Two), Ethan is trying to stop a powerful AI program called The Entity from wreaking havoc on the world and falling into the wrong hands.

In addition to Cruise, the cast includes Simon Pegg as Benji Dunn, Ving Rhames as Luther Strickell, Vanessa Kirby as Alanna Mitsopolis, Hayley Atwell as Grace, Esai Morales as the villain Gabriel, Shea Wigham as Jasper Briggs, Greg Tarzan Davis as Degas and Pom Klementieff as the assassin Paris. Newcomers to the “Mission: Impossible” franchise include “Ted Lasso star Hannah Waddingham, Nick Offerman, Lucy Tulugarjuk, Katy O’Brian, Tramell Tillman and Stephen Oyoung.

Cruise has already teased the kind of breath-taking action fans can expect in “The Final Reckoning,” includes an underwater submarine sequence and a scene where he dangles from a plane.

“When you stick your face out [of an airplane], going over 120 to 130 miles an hour, you’re not getting oxygen,” Cruise said in an interview with Empire. “So I had to train myself how to breathe. There were times I would pass out physically; I was unable to get back into the cockpit.”
