Hollywood icon crowned ‘Queen of the World’ in kids film returns to Cannes with her latest thriller
The man is back on the Croisette:Tom Cruise returned to the Cannes Film Festival with his high-octane action franchise “Mission: Impossible — Final Reckoning,” the film’s long-hoped-for return to the festival. The latest in the series, directed by Christopher McQuarrie has already been generating a lot of buzz, especially after the recent release of the movie in Tokyo.
Cruise Takes a “Mission: Impossible” to Cannes 
Three years after making headlines at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival by presenting the first look at Top Gun: Maverick and accepting an honorary Palme d’Or, Tom Cruise is returning to the festival circuit. This time he brings Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning, which will probably be one of the blockbuster films at the festival.
Now after Cruise’s return to the series, it looks like the film is going to be a thrilling ride once again and definitely will be a crowd pleaser at the fest this year. With a worldwide A-lister like Cruise who is doing mission impossible type stunts, all eyes have been on The Mummy this past year.
What to Expect from Cruise at Cannes in 2025
The world is waiting to find out if Cruise will have any surprises up his sleeve this year. For his visit to Cannes in 2022, the festival was treated to a theatrical flyover of jets, in the spirit of Top Gun, to celebrate the premiere of Maverick. And now fans are wondering whether Cruise will again up the ante, enhancing his reputation for daredevil stunts in real life as well as on film.
Though word of what Cruise has in store is still under wraps, one thing is for sure: the actor is having an exciting year. Continuing his press flight, Cruise most recently raised eyebrows by dragging himself onto the roof of the British Film Institute in London, recapturing some vintage cruise at the same time as he built it back on the red carpet.
A Worldwide Launch: Tokyo to North America
Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning opened big in Tokyo last week, and kicks off its worldwide release. It is scheduled to arrive in North America theatres on May 23, 2025, with fans on the edge of their seats. The eyes of the world will now be on Cannes and how the film lands with critics and punters in this, the next phase of its international release.
We can expect the edge-of-our-seats action and complex story that the Mission: Impossible series has become known for, which have fans worldwide hooked. There’s no stopping Cruise’s raw appeal and incendiary turns in Final Reckoning should insure a long shadow cast over Cannes and beyond.
