Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning premieres at the Cannes Film Fest.

The highly anticipated eighth film in the spy franchise will play out of competition on May 14, with Cruise and director Christopher McQuarrie in attendance.

It marks Cruise’s third time at Cannes, with the first being for Ron Howard’s “Far and Away” in 1992 and the second just a few years ago for “Top Gun: Maverick” in 2022. During his last Cannes appearance, Cruise also received an honorary Palme d’Or and gave a masterclass to attendees.

“In ‘Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning,’ Cruise’s Ethan Hunt, who he has portrayed since the beginning of the franchise in 1996, and his IMF team ask you to trust them one last time,” the Cannes press release states. “After three decades of thrills, stunts and intrigue, ‘The Final Reckoning’ delivers unforgettable cinematic experience.”

News about the film’s Cannes debut first leaked in February, when it was revealed that the film was weighing a premiere at the festival.

This year’s Cannes Film Fest, which runs from May 13 to 24, will reveal its full lineup on Thursday.

Other big names in the run to premiere their films on the Croisette include Spike Lee, Wes Anderson, Kristen Stewart, Jim Jarmusch, Ari Aster and Richard Linklater.
