Tom Cruise can hardly contain his excitement over the fifth installment of the “Mission: Impossible” franchise that he actually shared via his Twitter social media account on March 22 a one-minute video teaser of the film, ahead of the movie’s official trailer debut the following day.
The movie is officially titled “Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation” and will hit theathers on July 31. But the 52-year-old actor appears to be really proud of his latest action accomplishment that he decided to beat the gun on the debut of the official movie trailer.
Tom Cruise will reprise his role as IMF agent Ethan Hunt in the upcoming action spy film to be directed by Christopher McQuarrie based on the screenplays written by Drew Pearce and Will Staples.
Action-packed teaser
The 60-second video teaser showing Ethan Hunt in one scene where he was shirtless and fighting an opponent. There’s the footage of a pretty Rebecca Ferguson who is likely to be his new leading lady for the movie.
There’s also the new support cast in comedy actor Simon Pegg who appears to be giving the action scenes and the overall movie some comedic relief. There’s also the high-speed motorcycle chase or race, reminiscent of “Mission: Impossible 2.” And there’s also Ethan Hunt trying to catch the bad guy by clinging on to the side of the plane.
The short teaser was action-packed already and it is most likely that the official movie trailer would even be more loaded in terms of the what fans and moviegoers would expect from a “Mission: Impossible” film and Tom Cruise.
Rogue assassins
The official title of the movie has something to do with the plot of the film that was previously reported. Accordingly, Ethan Hunt is a man on the run on “Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation” as a highly-trained organization called the Syndicate, issued an order to liquidate him.
With the help of his own reliable team in the IMF, Ethan Hunt attempts to turn the tables on his assassins on the way to bringing down the Syndicate whatever it takes for him to do so.
In addition to Tom Cruise, Jeremy Renner will be back as William Brandt and so is Vhing Rames who shall reprise his role as Luther Stickell.
Simon Pegg as Benji Dunn will come in to the franchise for the first time to give it the necessary light hearted and witty moments. Swedish actress Rebecca Ferguson will be the movie’s lead female actress. Veteran actor Alec Baldwin will play the role of the head of the CIA.
“Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation” will be coming out on theaters almost four years after “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol was released on December 16, 2011. The movie made a box-office worldwide haul of almost $695 million. The fifth movie is seeking to equal, if not surpass, the box-office results of the fourth film in the franchise.
