We reported last month thatMission: Impossible 6started production, with writer-director Christopher McQuarrie sending out the first photo from the set. Since then, we’ve seen videos withTom Cruise crashing a motorcycle, and also our first look at Henry Cavill, who joins the franchise as the right hand man of the head of Ethan Hunt’s (Tom Cruise) Impossible Mission Force (IMF) unit. Today we have a new video with Tom Cruise in action once again. The actor even has time between takes to greet the dozens of fans who’ve showed up in Paris to watch him film.
Storm Shadowhas put together a five-minute video ofTom Cruiseon the Paris set, as he preps what looks to be just a small part of a rather large motorcycle chase scene, shot on the famous Avenue de l’Opera. While it isn’t seen who is chasing him in this portion of the shoot, we see Ethan Hunt constantly checking behind his back. At one point he veers off onto a side street. After this brief shoot, theaction starrode past a large group of fans gathered to see him, waving to the crowd briefly before riding off and going back to work.
While we can’t hear what they are saying, this video also shows Tom Cruise speaking with writer-directorChristopher McQuarrieafter the take. The actor is also seen conversing with the unidentified man who is riding the motorcycle ahead of Tom Cruise, filming all of the action, and we see him stop to wave to the fans several times throughout this five-minute video. Unfortunately, no details about this actual scene were given, including where in the movie this may take place, or who is actually chasing him.
We reported in March thatJeremy Rennerwill not be returning as Brandt in this sequel, the role he portrayed inMission: Impossible Ghost ProtocolandMission: Impossible Rogue Nation. The actor himself hinted several months ago that he would likely not be able to makeMission: Impossible 6, since his schedule for the massiveAvengers: Infinity Warand its sequelAvengers 4conflicts with this action sequel. It is believed that the casting ofHenry Cavill’s characterhappened to fill the void left by Jeremy Renner, but that hasn’t been confirmed.
Rebecca Fergusonis reprising her role fromMission: Impossible Rogue Nationas Ilsa Faust, with Simon Pegg’s Benji Dunn and Ving Rhames' Luther Stickle also expected to return. Christopher McQuarrie is directing from his own script, making him the first filmmaker in franchise history to direct twoMission: Impossiblemovies in a row. Paramount has givenMission: Impossible 6aJuly 27, 2018 release date, which currently has the date all to itself after Warner Bros.‘Aquamanwas pushed from that date to July 11, 2025. Take a look at this five-minute video from the set ofMission: Impossible 6.
