Tom Cruise Outdoes Himself With His Newest Stunts

Tom Cruise is one of the greatest action stars in the modern age of Hollywood. Not only is he a fantastic actor, but Tom is also a heck of a stuntman. He shows us his incredible abilities in the Mission: Impossible franchise as Ethan Hunt. The trailer for the latest installment, Mission: Impossible- The Final Reckoning, dropped on April 7. Tom Cruise really outdid himself with his death-defying stunts. In the trailer, we see him hanging on an airplane, jumping off buildings, and diving into the ocean. He’s utterly fearless, but it’s hard to tell if you’re watching Tom Cruise as Ethan or if Ethan has genuinely become a part of Tom Cruise.

Tom Cruise has not confirmed or denied whether he will return for another Mission Impossible movie to act and perform his amazing stunts. This will be Tom’s eighth Mission: Impossible movie with a character he has embodied for nearly 30 years.

Tom shared the trailer for the movie on X with the caption, “Every choice, every mission, has all led to this. Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. May 23, 2025.”

The announcement made this fan a bit melancholy, “James Bond in 2022, Jack Ryan in 2023, and now Ethan Hunt in 2025, one by one, our childhood spy heroes are hanging up their gear.”

This person had a big stunt request from Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible-The Final Reckoning the wrote in part,

“With timed precision, you leap to the ocean below as the rocket sails back into space. You splash down in the ocean, stunned by the cold when a great white shark comes charging at you; You punch it in the eye, taming the beast; You then jump on it’s back, it breaks the surface and you gasp a big gulp of air, riding it off into the sunset, never to be seen again. That doesn’t happen, I’m walking.”
