Is Tom Cruise ready to say goodbye to the “Mission: Impossible” franchise? That’s certainly the tone that permeates the latest trailer for “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning,” which also sees the daredevil dangling from an airplane and coming under fire for his past actions as footage from previous “Mission” movies plays like a memorial tribute to Ethan Hunt.
Christopher McQuarrie returns to direct after steering “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation,” “Mission: Impossible – Fallout” and “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One.” The eighth film in the franchise was initially titled “Dead Reckoning Part Two” but after the box office underperformance of the previous film, Paramount retitled this movie “The Final Reckoning.”
