Talking about shooting the car chase sequence in Rome, which gave the audience an adrenaline rush, Klementieff told Collider,
“It was very challenging to shoot these scenes, but what is beautiful is that we shoot in real locations, so we get to go to these beautiful cities and with historical monuments, you know. So yeah, that was insane. But also on the train, I remember having to do a fight scene in such a tight place, so you have to kick super high but super sharp, and you have to be very precise with everything. And you, the train, too, it’s a big moment for your character as well.”
The actress also shared with Entertainment Weekly,
“I had so much fun shooting this scene. It was so special to be on location in Rome. We were shooting during COVID, so we were very lucky to be here. I was trying to not laugh too much because I was having so much fun in the car following the Fiat.”

Pom Klementieff talks about her character in Mission: Impossible 7
Pom Klementieff shared that her name in the film is a homage to the Great Paris, who was a magician spy. The role was originally played by Star Trek actor Leonard Nimoy, on the Mission: Impossible TV show.
Thunder Force actress shared,
“When Christopher McQuarrie cast me for the role, he didn’t know which name the character would have. It was cool to name me Paris, me being from France, and then they decided that I would speak French because I speak French in real life.”
The actor Nimoy never wore anything very attractive or unique on the TV show, unlike the looks sported by Klementieff for the film.
Klementieff said,
“She’s very different style-wise from every other actress in the Mission: Impossible franchise. She has a side that’s a bit more punk, and she doesn’t really give a f—. So that was cool.”
