Mission: Impossible 7 Footage Reveals Cruise's Biggest (& Best) Problem
The first trailer for Mission: Impossible 7 was revealed at CinemaCon and demonstrated the greatest problem facing the franchise and Tom Cruise.

Both parts of Dead Reckoning are directed by Christopher McQuarrie, who has helmed the last two movies in the Mission: Impossible franchise. Rejoining McQuarrie are Tom Cruise, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames, Rebecca Ferguson, and Vanessa Kirby, among others.

The trailer also included the return of Henry Czerny's Eugene Kittridge, who has not appeared since the first Mission: Impossible movie in 1996. While Czerny's return may spring a surprise for some audience members, the descriptions of death-defying stunts in Mission: Impossible 7 will not, as they have become a hallmark of the series.
