Tom Cruise and his Mission Impossible movies are some of the best action-thriller movies ever made in the history of Hollywood. The American actor first took up the role of Ethan Hunt back in 1996 and it has turned into one of the biggest spy movie franchises in the world over the span of more than 2 decades. Cruise is all set to reprise his role as Ethan Hunt again in the 7th installment of the series, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, and the fans are more excited than ever.
Although Tom Cruise recently celebrated his 61st birthday earlier this month, the actor is showing no signs of slowing as he recently revealed that he wants to continue doing Mission Impossible movies for at least another 20 years.
Tom Cruise talks about playing the role of Ethan Hunt in future
Harrison Ford recently reprised his role as Indiana Jones in the Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny movie for the 5th and final time at the age of 80. The movie was released last week and has been receiving generally positive reviews from fans and critics so far.
Tom Cruise also talked about the legendary actor reprising his iconic role at the age of 80 while talking to The Sydney Morning Herald at the Australian premiere of the upcoming Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One and revealed that he also wants to play the role of Ethan Hunt until he is 80. He said,
“Harrison Ford is a legend; I hope to be still going. I’ve got 20 years to catch up with him. I hope to keep making Mission: Impossible films until I’m his age.”
The Top Gun actor’s insane stunt from the upcoming Mission Impossible movie
Everyone has been talking about the insane bike stunt from the upcoming Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One where Tom Cruise allegedly jumped from the side of a cliff 6 times in the same day to get the perfect shot. However, Paramount Pictures recently dropped the behind-the-scenes of another bizarre scene from the movie which even left the director, Christopher McQuarrie in shock.
Tom Cruise allegedly drove through the crowded streets of Rome in a car chase scene in the upcoming Mission Impossible movie while being handcuffed to his co-star, Hayley Atwell. McQuarrie also talked about the car-chase scene in the movie and said,
“We came to Rome to shoot something with a lot more ambition and unpredictability that we haven’t had in previous chases. Everything we shot is completely practical. We let the city tell us the kind of chase it’s going to be. Traffic in the city is notorious and the cobblestone streets make all of the driving unpredictable. The best part is Tom and Haley are handcuffed together.”
Cruise and Hayley Atwell went on to ditch the BMW for a customized Fiat 500 in the scene and filmed even more intense chase sequences in that car. Christopher McQuarrie even noted that it would have been really impossible to shoot that scene had it not been for an actor like Tom Cruise.
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One is all set to be released on July 12, 2023.
