Tom Cruise is not only pushing past age, he’s rewriting it. At the New York City premiere for Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning on May 18, Cruise made it clear that he’s still making movies deep into centenarian years. He said, “I will never stop. I will never stop doing action, I will never stop doing drama, comedy films. I’m excited.”
This disclosure follows from his previous remark that he wanted to have the same career life as Harrison Ford. Now, Cruise is looking even higher, with a target to continue entertaining the masses for decades to come.
Cruise’s professionalism is the stuff of legend. Famous for doing his stunts, he claims his continued energy comes from a strict regime of exercise and a regimen diet. Details are personal, of course, but his adherence to physical perfection is a significant factor in his capacity to play physically demanding roles.
Reflecting on nearly 30 years of the Mission: Impossible franchise, Cruise shared, “There’s been so many levels of reward with the filmmakers that I’ve collaborated with, the crews, the people, the cultures that we’ve worked in. Everything that I’ve learned and continue to learn about storytelling, about life, about leadership, about character, and every aspect of filmmaking. It’s been exceptional.
The Final Reckoning will open in U.S. theaters on May 23, 2025. The movie follows up on the Ethan Hunt character, played by Cruise, as he faces a new enemy from a rogue artificial intelligence called The Entity. Christopher McQuarrie helms the movie, featuring a galaxy of stars in Hayley Atwell, Simon Pegg, and Angela Bassett.
The film has already gained popularity for its stunt daredevilry and heartwarming appeal, to be a worthy page in the saga’s illustrious history. As Cruise continues to break the mold of action films, the viewers can look forward to more thrilling adventures, aware that the mission is never quite impossible for him.
