As a resident of Los Angeles, my winter expertise doesn’t fairly match these of individuals in most different areas of the nation. Whereas some states are coping with freezing temperatures and a number of inches of snowfall, it’s a gentle 67 levels exterior as I write this text. Regardless, I can’t assist however really feel a tad bit chilly as I watch a vacation greeting video from the celebrities of Mission: Inconceivable – The Ultimate Reckoning that was filmed whereas the actors had been taking pictures on location within the arctic.
The official Twitter account for the Mission: Inconceivable franchise has posted a video of Simon Pegg, Greg Tarzan Davis, and Pom Klementieff singing “We Want You a Merry Christmas,” and it comes with the caption, “An arctic vacation greeting from the set of #MissionImpossible — The Ultimate Reckoning.” It’s not specified precisely the place the actors are (the enormous tanker within the background suggests a port or a shore someplace), and despite the fact that they’re all bundled up, they nonetheless seem like they’re critically chilly:

You need to squint a bit trying on the video to substantiate that it’s Simon Pegg and Pom Klenentieff, as each actors are carrying face coverings, however I can’t blame them for wanting to show as little pores and skin as doable given the circumstances of their environment.
As for why the celebrities of Mission: Inconceivable – The Ultimate Reckoning are within the arctic, it seemingly has one thing to do with that very particular submarine that followers of the franchise first realized about in Mission: Inconceivable – Useless Reckoning final yr. For people who do not recall, the Russian sub, named The Sevastopol, homes a complicated AI known as The Entity that might destroy the world as we all know it if unleashed or put within the fallacious palms. A particular two half secret’s wanted to regulate the Entity, and Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt efficiently acquired mentioned key on the finish of the 2023 blockbuster.
You may get a preview of all of the motion (together with among the eye-popping footage set within the arctic) within the Mission: Inconceivable The Ultimate Reckoning teaser trailer that was launched in early November:
Simon Pegg might be again as dependable IMF agent and Ethan Hunt ally Benji Dunn; Pom Klementieff is reprising her function as Paris after saving Ethan’s life on the finish of the final journey; and Greg Tarzan Davis might be again as Degas, who’s evidently becoming a member of the protagonist on his newest journey after being a foe within the final movie.
The upcoming 2025 blockbuster can also be set to function Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Vanessa Kirby, Esai Morales, Angela Bassett, and Henry Czerny.
Whereas there was a plan at one level to have the brand new sequel arrive in theaters this previous June, the Hollywood labor strikes of 2023 threw a wrench into the gears for that plan, and now Mission: Inconceivable – The Ultimate Reckoning is about for launch on Could 23, 2025. It’s considered one of CinemaBlend’s most anticipated huge display releases set to reach within the subsequent calendar yr, so you possibly can make certain that we’ll be writing rather a lot about it within the months forward as we get nearer to its debut.
