Paramount Pictures has unveiled the 30-second Super Bowl spot for “Mission: Impossible: The Final Reckoning,” the eighth and apparent final film in the franchise.
Shot in the UK, Africa and the Arctic, the question is if the franchise can turn things around after ‘Dead Reckoning Part One’ resulted in losses of more than $200 million for Paramount.
A report earlier this year suggested the eighth film was already “running well over $300 million in production costs” so this one needs to be a success for Paramount.
Plot specifics are under wraps but it’s likely this will be as acclaimed as much of the rest of the series which has been riding high since Brad Bird’s fourth film hit a 93% on Rotten Tomatoes and climbed even higher throughout the various Chris McQuarrie films.
McQuarrie and Cruise confirmed earlier this week that the movie will not only wrap up the storyline involving The Entity that began in ‘Dead Reckoning’ but also serve as a capper to the 30 years of storytelling of this franchise with throwbacks to past films expected.
“Mission: Impossible: The Final Reckoning” opens in cinemas on May 23rd 2025.
