Tom Cruise On One Of The Most Dangerous Stunts Of The Mission Impossible Franchise
Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One is already making headlines weeks before its release. Tom Cruise discussed his most dangerous stunt from the seventh chapter of the Mission Impossible franchise during an interview with the media outlet Entertainment Tonight. The Top Gun actor has always left his audience spellbound with his agility even at the age of 60. He chose to film the death-defying stunt on the first day of the Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One shoot. The Last Samurai actor revealed-
“Well, we know either we’re gonna continue with the film or we’re not. Let’s know on day one… Do we all continue, or is it a major rewrite? I was training and I was ready. It was years preparing.”

Pom Klementieff Requested Tom Cruise to kick her for Mission: Impossible fight scene
Christopher McQuarrie produced and directed Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One is set to release in July 2023. One of the key characters in Tom Cruise’s upcoming movie is Pom Klementieff as Paris. The Marvel star described her role during an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
She said her character is “- very, very, very much a chaotic element in the story. It doesn’t matter how deep in the background, she is, you’re going to be watching her at all times and wondering what she’s going to do.” Paris is someone who “destroys everything in her path. She’s a rebel, she’s a killer, she’s extremely skilled and quite lonely too.”
She is portraying a negative character named Paris, who partners with the main antagonist, Gabriel, played by actor Esai Morales. In a scene that is shot in Venice, Paris fights with the super spy Ethan Hunt. Pom Klementieff had asked her co-star to kick her in the belly during the fight sequence. Tom Cruise instantly turned down her request. She recalled-
“I kept telling him to just kick me here. I was squeezing abs. [I said], You can just go for it. He was like ‘No, no, no, no, no.’ I was like, ‘But it’s going to help me!’ But he wouldn’t do it.”
While talking about being cast in the million-dollar franchise the actor said-
“When Christopher McQuarrie cast me for the role, he didn’t know which name the character would have,” she says. “It was cool to name me Paris, me being from France, and then they decided that I would speak French because I speak French in real life.”
Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One will hit theaters on July 12, 2023, worldwide.
