Another day, another set video of Tom Cruise doing the impossible. This time, he's been captured filming another insane aerial sequence for Mission: Impossible 7 as he parachutes outside of a helicopter for what will surely be one of the film's many showstopping moments.
According to Daily Mail UK, Cruise actually performed the stunt four times, which sounds like a pretty light workday for him, as it was recently reported during CinemaCon that he had practiced over 13,000 motor cross jumps, undergone one year of base jump training, and plenty of skydiving training to prepare for the film's signature stunt, which will see him base jump off a cliff.
Check out the new set videos and photos below:
On a related note, Hayley Atwell, Pom Klementieff, and Simon Pegg have all confirmed, via their respective social media accounts, that they've wrapped filming on Mission 7, so it sounds like Cruise - and possibly Ving Rhames or Esai Morales - may be the only main cast member still filming. With Top Gun: Maverick delayed to Memorial Day, it's unclear whether the global megastar will take a mini-vacation or if he'll head straight into filming Mission: Impossible 8 this fall.
In addition to Cruise as the headliner, the highly anticipated McQ-directed action blockbuster will also see the return of Ving Rhames as Luther Stickell, Simon Pegg as Benji Dunn, Rebecca Ferguson as Ilsa Faust, Academy Award-nominee Vanessa Kirby as the White Widow, and Henry Czerny as Eugene Kittridge.
Newcomers to the franchise include the aforementioned Hayley Atwell (Avengers: Endgame; Captain America: The First Avenger) as Grace, Pom Klementieff (Avengers: Endgame; Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2), Shea Whigham (Perry Mason; Marvel's Agent Carter), Esai Morales (Titans; La Bamba), Rob Delaney (Deadpool 2; Hobbs & Shaw), Charles Parnell (Top Gun: Maverick; Transformers: Age of Extinction), Indira Varma (Game of Thrones; Carnival Row), Mark Gatiss (The Father; The Favourite), and Cary Elwes (The Princess Bride; Saw).
Mission: Impossible 7 lights the fuse in theaters on September 30, 2022; followed by Mission: Impossible 8 on July 7, 2023.
