It looks like Glen Po🤡well won't be taking over Mission: Imposs𒁏ible from Tom Cruise after all.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历꧑史查询:Following the release of the trailer for Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, which seems to set-up an ending for the long-running franchise, scooper The InSneider claimed that Cruise wanted ꦜPowell to take over from him going forwards.

, we now know that's not the case. "My mom would never let me do that," Powell said. "That’s the worst gig in town, everybody knows that. That’s a death trap."

Cruise notoriously does his own death-defying stunts, meaning the role of Ethan Hunt is indeed a risky one to take over. Cruise and Powell will be seen together on screen again in Top Gun 3, however. Director Joseph Kosinski and co-star Miles 🍒Teller will also be return😼ing for more.

"I mean, I have a date," 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Powell revealed on the podcast of the Top Gun threequel.

"We had preliminary stuff," producer Jerry Bruck🌼heimer recently told GamesRadar+ of the fil🍌m. "We're not there yet. [There's] ways to go."

As for Mission: Impossible, the trailer for the movie certainly has a feeling of finalitꩵy to it, which is helped by that dramatic title. Could this be the end of th༒e road for Ethan Hunt? Time will tell.

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning arrives on May 23, 2025, while Top Gun 3 doesn't yet have a release date. In the meantime, check out our guide to all the upcoming major 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:movie release dates for everything else that's on the way.
