Tom Cruise returned to Leicester Square in London on May 15, 2025, for the global premiere of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. The highly anticipated eighth and reportedly final installment in the franchise brought together a star-studded cast and an unforgettable evening of cinematic celebration.
In a moment that echoed the film’s high-octane action, Cruise arrived by climbing onto the wing of a vintage biplane before touching down near the venue. His entrance drew enthusiastic cheers from fans and the press.
The red carpet saw appearances from Hayley Atwell, Pom Klementieff, Angela Bassett, Simon Pegg, Esai Morales, and director Christopher McQuarrie. Michael B. Jordan also surprised attendees with an appearance, warmly embracing Cruise before the screening.

Despite the glamour, the premiere faced minor disruptions from anti-Scientology protestors who were later removed by police. The event otherwise went ahead without incident, keeping the focus on the film.
This global premiere followed earlier screenings in Tokyo and Cannes, where the film received a five-minute standing ovation. Releasing globally on May 23, the film positions itself as a bold finale for one of cinema’s most ambitious action franchises.c
