Mission: Impossible 7 has received its official title Mission Impossible- Dead Reckoning Part One.

The film’s title was revealed during Paramount’s CinemaCon in Las Vegas on Thursday.

This announcement was made by Mission: Impossible star Tom Cruise in a pre-recorded message filmed on a red aeroplane from the South African set of Mission: Impossible 8 before a trailer for the sequel was shared. 

“Please enjoy,” he told the audience. “And hey! Let’s try to have a great summer.”

In the trailer, audiences got a sneak of exciting scenes to look forward to in the new film, yet to be officially released. Variety reports that “his stunts have gotten so outrageous that everyone in the room laughed when Ethan Hunt nose dives off a cliff while on his motorcycle and then free-falls into the abyss.”

The trailer for the new film will be available for public viewing before Top Gun: Maverick, which hits theatres on May 27.

While details of the plot for MI7 remain ambiguous, Variety notes that Hunt and his team of operatives once again face an existential threat. 

“The trailer was stuffed with action-packed footage, including vintage-looking trains flying off tracks, deadly emerald-coloured clouds of biochemical weapons, and plenty of brutal street combat,” they wrote. 

“You’re fighting to save an idea that doesn’t exist…. never did,” Henry Czerny’s character Eugene Kittridge, the former director of the IMF, tells Hunt. “You need to pick a side.”

Paramounts three-hour-long presentation primarily included a screening of high-profile blockbuster, Top Gun: Maverick, a sequel to the 1986 action adventure. This is the first time a large audience will see the film before it goes to the Cannes Film Festival next month.

MI7 is directed by Christopher McQuarrie, who also directed the franchises’ fifth and sixth instalments — 2015’s Rogue Nation and 2018’s FalloutFallout was the highest-grossing entry in the long-running series, grossing nearly $800 million at the global box office.
