Director Christopher McQuarrie has revealed some thrilling news about Tom Cruise's upcoming film ‘Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning’. According to McQuarrie, an audience member nearly experienced a heart attack during one of the movie's intense action scenes.
Audiences can expect to see Cruise underwater, entering a submarine, and flying a plane, all featured in the film's trailer.
The film started production in early 2022 but was stopped in July 2023 because of the writers' and actors' strikes. Filming resumed in March 2024, as reported by Pinkvilla.
Collaborating with Cruise on the franchise since Rogue Nation (2015), McQuarrie told Empire magazine that the viewer described feeling "suffocated" throughout the scene.
"We had a small screening and someone said, 'I was suffocating throughout the entire sequence. I almost had a heart attack.' And I thought, 'I guess we did something right,'" the director said.
The movie promises to be action-packed with thrilling adrenaline moments. McQuarrie further added that The Final Reckoning will have the toughest stunt in the series. He said the film features "the most difficult thing" Cruise has ever done. However, he did not reveal if it has anything to do with the stunt which nearly gave one of the viewers a heart attack.
The star-filled cast of ‘Mission: Impossible 8’, now called ‘The Final Reckoning’, features Cruise, Hayley Atwell, Simon Pegg, Vanessa Kirby, Pom Klementieff, Ving Rhames, Shea Whigham, and Henry Czerny, along with new additions like Nick Offerman, Bob Odenkirk, and Hannah Waddingham.
