“Hey everyone, it’s amazing South Africa and we’re filming ‘Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning’ Parts 1 and 2,” Cruise yelled into the camera over the blaring ambient sound of the plane, according to reports. “Variety” report.
“I don’t want to end the year without thanking everyone for coming to the theater and thanking you for supporting Top Gun: Maverick.”
A little over 20 seconds later, the camera pans to reveal Christopher McQuarrie, returning to the Mission: Impossible franchise to helm Dead Reckoning.
McQuarrie also wrote “Top Gun: Mavericka” with Cruise and David Ellison and produced the action film.
McQuarrie also thanked Top Gun fans before turning his attention back to Cruise: “Hey, listen, we’re really going to start. We’ve got to get this.”
Cruise grinned, casually pointed the gun at McQuarrie, and quickly jumped out of the plane — presumably with a photographer. Cruise stretched his entire body into a starfish pose to resist air resistance, turned his attention back to the camera and continued speaking.
“As always, thank you for allowing us to host you. It truly was the honor of a lifetime. I’m running out of heights so I have to get back to work. We had to get this shot. You had a very safe and happy holiday. See you at the cinema ,’ Cruise concluded, before being blown out to sea by a gust of wind.
‘Mission: Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 1’ Will Return Several Other Veterans Like Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby and Henry Czerny .
In the official trailer, Cruise sees a series of action-packed sequences, such as a nightclub fight, a chase on a moving train, and, of course, multiple falls.
Mission: Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 1 opens in theaters on July 14, 2023, from Paramount Pictures. The sequel, Mission: Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 2, is currently scheduled for release on June 28, 2024.
