    I think Hunt will fake his death, there'll be a scene where everyone mourns him, and the last shot will suggest that he's alive.

    I'll be upset if they kill off Kittridge or Luther. That "I have no regrets" line from Luther gave me "I have to die to save others" vibes.

    If they pull a NTTD ending I won't be happy, I have faith it won't happen.

    If Bond can be killed off Ethan Hunt most certainly can.

    If they've looked at the poor US box office of NTTD they'll already know that killing off your lead character is a REALLY bad idea.

    Watched the new trailer again, I think Tom looks in better shape than the last film.

    I just don't want another overlong car chase again. Really took me out of the last film for a bit and Fallout

    For me, the car chase was by far the best thing in Dead Reckoning. But yes, it wouldn't need another car chase.

    I was just thinking there is a real possibility we may get 3 Mission Impossible films in between NTTD and the next Bond film. if Tom is indeed continuing i would assume he wont went to waste too much time on a part 9.

    He and McQuarrie have mentioned they want to continue the story and this won't be the last, but Cruise is set up to do Inarritu's next film in 2025, followed by another, new film with McQuarrie afterward. If they actually do a ninth at this rate, I'll be surprised.

    I think Cruise should call it a day when he's 65? I dunno, you don't wanna get too old! If Final Reckoning underperforms Paramount may cancel the franchise. No Time To Die did significantly better box office than MI Dead Reckoning.

    Tom Cruise is extremely energetic for his age but no-one can defeat time. Indiana Jones 4 and 5, were, imho, unnecessary. Ford's mature age didn't add anything to those films. Arguably, his age was to the films' detriment. It would be a shame to see Cruise running and hanging off stuff when he looks too old. It's also far more risky when you get older.

    I like a good car chase. Just felt like it was too long. NTTD had the perfect chase length

    It doesn’t take much, but I’m sold!

    Trailer looks like it’s the usual MI fun, with Cruise running and dangling from crazy places.
    I think it’s setup to intrigue us, after all it is called a teaser trailer.

    I can’t imagine they’re going to kill off Ethan Hunt, it would feel too cliched after Bond did it in NTTD.
    There’s still more life in Cruise and the franchise.

    On a recent viewing of MI:DR I found I enjoyed it far more, and in particular the car chase. It was beautifully orchestrated and choreographed. Especially after the disappointing chase through Rome in SP.

    I did note that this trailer doesn’t have any shots of Gabriel or Paris from the previous film. The entity is obviously the focus, but zero main villain is unusual.

    Looking forward to lighting the fuse in 2025.

    I agree. I doubt Ethan Hunt dies in FR. If he dies then it would be mission impossible to come back to life! ;))

    My wild prediction which probably won’t come true - he’ll die but be programmed into the AI thingy which I’m told was the villain of the last film (I still haven’t seen it). Any future instalment will involve Tom Cruise as some sort of AI robot thing guiding future IMF agents….

    Again, probably won’t happen, and it would be a very silly ending, but if it does remember this post ☺️

    Nice trailer, as always. Only problem is, I'm missing Rebecca Ferguson already. I still haven't accepted that someone like Gabriel could kill Ilsa, not that Gabriel isn't strong. But even some henchmen that Ilsa faced were very strong. I'm not even sure Gabriel can beat Pom Klementieff's Paris, yet one can imagine Ilsa going up against Paris and defeating her.
    If someone like Solomon Lane had killed Ilsa, it would have been more convincing. Also, Ilsa should have died a more heroic death.

    Agreed. An illogical misstep that immediately took away from the previous film for me. It was already on shaky ground with a poor villain, but hopefully Gabriel will have a bigger impact in this upcoming entry.

    "Now,the fate of every living soul on Earth is your responsibility" surely a big clue re the threat, can't be nukes again (?) so some form of virus? other ideas?

    PS https://www.slashfilm.com/1710152/mission-impossible-the-final-reckoning-trailer-rabbits-foot/

    PPS at 54 you see three guys in a small,basic boat rowing in the frozen waters (top view), at 28, you see three guys (same hats,same guys, not agents? local fishermen?) out on the ice holding the key with fascination as if it has been newly found, at 55 you see the key frozen just below the surface of the ice, around the neck of a girl (no girls on the original sub?), a hand brushes over loose snow, indicating that the key has been found by someone on the ice, so, stay with me, either there is a second key? or they lose the original key to someone who, again, drowns and is frozen? thoughts? or not a girl in the ice and a flash back to how the key was found? weird

    I think that's a flashback sequence. It seems it was the original intention to jump back to the submarine scenes in the second film, but brought scenes forward to the previous film for added context. So we'll just be going back to that again.

    I would have preferred him to become the new IMF Secretary at the end of the movie.

    Yeah, true. I hope Gabriel's stamp would be more this time. Also, I'm really looking forward to Lorne Balfe's score.

    Luther is shown only with Hunt and not looking 100% whilst a couple of other shots show the rest of the (new) team in the field. He gives Hunt a big hug and mentions that he has no regrets. The writing's on the wall IMHO

    I also wonder how much they're purposefully not showing, considering Luther went off at the end of DR to hide away and do his own work to help the team.

    Yeah I'm quite surprised that Paris and Degas seem to be part of the team, not least as I could have sworn Paris died.

    I guess the clue was her name though, Leonard Nimoy played Paris in the TV show. But Briggs (same name as the TV show team leader) from Dead Reckoning didn't appear in the trailer that I could see.

    Either Degas or Jasper mentions she has a pulse at the end of DR. I'm very happy to see her on board with the good guys this time around, she was one of my favorite additions in the last one.

    Yep, I'm glad she's back as she was great.

    I guess you can see me!

    The variation in sets, colors, locations, camera angles, apparent action sequences, etc in the trailer is astonishing. The film looks like it will be MASSIVE. Hopefully they tightened up the script as I felt DR was a bit convoluted and disjointed.
