The recently released trailer for The final reckoning it feels like an action-packed finale to the beloved series. In just a few minutes, Cruise is shown hanging from a biplane, crashing cars, exploring the wreckage of a submarine, and of course sprinting through various different settings.

Although the first trailer doesn’t reveal much about the plot, especially since it’s similar to most other action movie trailers in content, there are a few details that will be interesting to fans. Namely, Angela Bassett, who first appeared in Mission: Impossible — Fallout in 2018, it is revealed that she returned as CIA director Erika Sloane.

Looking at the trailer, it looks like the film will heavily feature the golden key, a focal point of the count. In that part, Cruise and company were tasked with finding the key, as it would help them stop the evil AI “Entity”. The key is visible in the trailer and is seen in a block of ice at one point.

Although everything, so far, is directed towards The final reckoning being a farewell to the franchise, both Cruise and director Christopher McQuarrie have repeatedly said they would like to continue the series indefinitely. Mission: Impossible star Simon Pegg, speaking to Away earlier this year, he confirmed: “(Tom Cruise) shows no signs of stopping. The moment he can’t do what he wants, he’ll stop,” while clarifying, “He’ll never want to change his audience.”
