Tom Cruise is making his return to the Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday, three years after debuting Top Gun: Maverick there. This time, he arrives with Mission: Impossible — Final Reckoning, the latest entry in the action-packed franchise directed by Christopher McQuarrie.
The film is the most prominent Hollywood blockbuster featured at Cannes this year, further intensifying attention on Cruise’s appearance at the festival.
Back in 2022, Cruise was honored with an honorary Palme d'Or and surprised festival-goers with a dramatic fighter jet flyover during the Top Gun premiere. With the 62-year-old actor known for grand gestures—like his recent rooftop appearance at the British Film Institute in London—expectations are high for what he might do this time.
The Final Reckoning premiered in Tokyo last week and is set for release in North American theaters on May 23.
