Hollywood actor Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning’ to premiere at Cannes Film Festival.

The action star is set to return to the prestigious festival in 2025, scheduled from May 13 to May 24, where he will debut the eighth installment of his iconic franchise, which has been running since 1996.

“Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” is one of the most hotly awaited blockbusters of the year and is set for release in cinemas worldwide from May 17.

“After nearly three decades of thrills, stunts and twists, ‘Mission: Impossible –The Final Reckoning’ promises to deliver an unforgettable cinematic experience,” the festival said in a statement.

Cannes president Iris Knobloch and long-time director Thierry Fremaux will unveil the selection of in-competition films and other major premieres at a press conference in Paris on Thursday.

Cinemas are desperate for some stardust and sparkling new films after a series of expensive Hollywood flops this year.

These include Disney’s live-action “Snow White,” superhero sequel “Captain America: Brave New World” and bizarre sci-fi movie “Mickey 17”.

The much-hyped “A Minecraft Movie”, released last week, was panned by critics but might help to lift the gloom after a record-breaking opening weekend in the United States.

Cruise, now 62, previously attended the Cannes Film Festival in 1992 for the release of Far and Away and again in 2022 for Top Gun: Maverick.

According to the film’s synopsis, Hunt and his IMF team ask audiences to place their trust in them one final time. The movie also features a star-studded cast, including Tramell Tillman, Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Esai Morales, Pom Klementieff, Henry Czerny, Mariela Garriga, Holt McCallany, Janet McTeer, Nick Offerman, Hannah Waddingham, Shea Whigham, Greg Tarzan Davis, Charles Parnell, Mark Gatiss, Rolf Saxon, Lucy Tulugarjuk, and Angela Bassett.
