Update: Watch the full-length trailer here.
After hitting a franchise-best on both the financial and quality side with Ghost Protocol, Ethan Hunt is returning sooner than we previously imagined. Once set for a December release, in a bid to both avoid Star Wars: The Force Awakens and give Paramount a summer hit after Terminator: Genisys isn’t looking very strong, the next Mission: Impossible has moved up to July.
Now titled Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, the first trailer has dropped today. Reteaming with his Jack Reacher director, Christopher McQuarrie, Tom Cruise returns with Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames and Paula Patton. Featuring some high-octane plane and motorcycle action, along with more enticing setpieces, we’re quite looking forward to this one. Also starring Sean Harris, Alec Baldwin, and Rebecca Ferguson, check out the first trailer below, which runs just over a minute.
Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation opens on July 31st.
