Simon Pegg has praised Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, and it sounds like Tom Cruise's stunts are going to be bigger than ever.

All signs point to the film potentially being the last in the movie, so it makes sense that the franchise might be going out with a bang.

Recently, rumors began swirling that Cruise's Top Gun: Maverick co-star Glen Powell was poised to take over the franchise going forward. However, Powell himself denied the claim. "My mom would never let me do that," he said. "That’s the worst gig in town, everybody knows that. That’s a death trap." You will be able to see Powell and Cruise share the screen again in the upcoming Top Gun 3, though.

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning arrives on May 23, 2025. In the meantime, check out our guide to all the upcoming major movie release dates for everything else that's on the way, or see our guide to the best action movies to watch now.
