The 8th installment of the spy action blockbuster series, ‘Mission Impossible – Final Reckoning’, starring Tom Cruise, has released its second poster and trailer, raising expectations.

The poster released this time evokes a dizzying thriller with the image of Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) hanging from a spinning plane in the high sky, while also raising curiosity about the new mission he faces as he faces a life-or-death crisis. In particular, Tom Cruise, who became a hot topic as the behind-the-scenes video showing him personally performing the extremely dangerous underwater filming was revealed, also personally performed the action scene hanging from an actual high-altitude plane without a stuntman, raising expectations for the essence of extreme real action that surpasses limits.

The second trailer that was released together stimulates curiosity as it announces the start of an unprecedented mission amidst tense tension. The line, “Everything you are, everything you‘ve done, has led you here” hints at the crisis of ‘Ethan Hunt’ who is driven to the edge of a cliff, while Ethan Hunt’s reply, “Trust me. Just one last time”, as he strengthens his will, heightens expectations for his dazzling performance that will make the impossible possible.

In addition, Tom Cruise‘s irreplaceable performance, which has established him as an action icon of the era, such as a flight scene where he hangs precariously on a plane quickly crossing a canyon, a difficult mission unfolding in a submarine flooding with water, and a scene where he jumps into the rough sea without hesitation, is expected to provide the audience with an upgraded cinematic experience.

‘Mission Impossible - Final Reckoning’ will be released in May.
