The premiere of "The Final Reckoning" took held on Thursday at Leicester Square, London.

Cruise reprises his role as agent Ethan Hunt for the eighth time in filmmaker Christopher McQuarrie's latest edition of the franchise, which opens in theaters on May 23.

Tom Cruise arrived on the Cannes Film Festival's red carpet on Wednesday to a live band rendition of the "Mission: Impossible" theme song, as organisers went out all the stops to commemorate what may be the action star's final appearance in the franchise.

Expectations were high for Cruise's return to Cannes three years after he debuted "Top Gun: Maverick" with a colorful jet flyby. Throughout the concert, he was observed mouthing "wow" and "bravo" to the band.

With a budget of almost $400 million, the new "Mission: Impossible" is one among several big-name pictures that theater operators are hoping will help them remain on track for recovery this year, five years after the COVID-19 outbreak began.
