Tom Cruise returns as Ethan Hunt in ‘Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation’

Summer blockbuster season is just around the corner and to kick things off Paramount has sneaked out an early look at the upcoming Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation.

The fifth outing in the Tom Cruise-starring franchise is directed by Christopher McQuarrie and features Simon Pegg, Alec Baldwin, Jeremy Renner and Rebecca Ferguson. The movie is based on the classic 1960s TV series of the same name.

The action-packed trailer shows Ethan Hunt – played by Tom Cruise – with his hands full as he tries to escape by pulling off some death-defying stunts. There’s plenty of fighting, high-flying stunts, and motorcycle riding to keep you on the edge of your seat until the movie hits theaters on 31 July.
