The Big Picture

• Tom Cruise filmed a stunt scene for Mission: Impossible 8 in Middleton Mine, Derbyshire, UK.
• The movie was initially titled Dead Reckoning: Part Two, but is now unnamed.
• Director McQuarrie split the story into two parts for more character development and emotion.

Tom Cruise has been spotted in the United Kingdom, filming scenes for next year's Mission: Impossible 8 . The set photos show Cruise driving a jeep while filming—to the shock of nobody—what appears to be a stunt scene at the Middleton Mine in Derbyshire earlier in the week. The BBC reports that villagers in the surrounding areas have been informed that a film is being shot there, and that it would be used for what was described as a car chase sequence. Tarmac, the company that owns the mine, has previously offered out the site to production companies but did not confirm or deny what the film was when questioned.

The film has been back in production for a while in the UK, after the previous installment— Dead Reckoning —shot a large portion of the film in and around the Peak District and Derbyshire area, including a stunning steam train crash into a nearby quarry. Stars Simon Pegg and Hayley Atwell have also both shared photos on their personal Instagram accounts of nearby landmarks.

Is The New 'Mission: Impossible' Film 'Dead Reckoning Part Two'?

Originally entitled Dead Reckoning: Part Two , the film will be renamed. While "Part Two" is no longer in the title, director Christopher McQuarrie fully believes that this is the second of a two-part story, as he told Collider's Steve Weintraub at the film's premiere back in July.

"I knew I wanted to expand the cast, and I knew I wanted to give each one of those characters more to do, so I knew the movie was going to be bigger and longer than Fallout [ the previous movie]. And at which point I said, 'Why are we fighting this? Why are we going to try to jam this into two hours? Let's just break it in half and make it two movies.' That really was the rationale behind it being a two-part movie. It just it wasn't just that the story was bigger but that we wanted more emotion in the movie. At that time, the studio were actually very genuinely excited about it. And, you know, I think we were excited about it too. And then there were times when we were on set, and Tom would look at me, and he'd say, 'This was your idea. Just remember that.'”

Mission: Impossible's eighth installment is scheduled for release in May 2025. Stay tuned to Collider for updates and check out the new set images above.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

It’s impossible not to marvel at his stamina.

Tom Cruise showed off his incredible athleticism in new photos from the set of “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two” in London on Sunday.

In photos obtained by The Post, Cruise, 61, can be seen sporting shaggy hair and a white shirt drenched in fake blood as he sprints across Westminster Bridge. Big Ben and the Palace of Westminster appear in the background in the action-packed shot.

While little is known about the film, which has been reported to serve as Cruise’s final appearance as Ethan Hunt, it can be assumed that Hunt will be forced to flee some sort of fancy gathering.

In addition to Cruise , several photos were captured of Parliament Square being barricaded off and filled with background actors dressed in army uniforms and helmets.

Many of the extras were spotted carrying prop guns as they milled around several army jeeps waiting for their next take.

Several fences that were put up around the area had various warnings such as “Restricted Area,” “Police security operation” and “Security checkpoint ahead.”

Despite the seriousness of the scene, the “Jerry Maguire” actor — who is well known for doing his own stunts — was spotted laughing and chatting with the crew.

The eighth installment of the “Mission: Impossible” series , which stars Simon Pegg , Vanessa Kirby, Hayley Atwell and Pom Klementieff, is set to be released nearly two years after the first part , which was nominated for Best Sound and Visual Effects at the 2024 Oscars .

Despite the rumors that both parts of the film were designed to serve as a send-off to Cruise’s character, director Christopher McQuarrie told the  “Light the Fuse” podcast that fans can’t believe everything they hear.

“Let me tell you, I’ve been working with Tom Cruise for 15 years and I cannot tell you the number of times I’ve been standing next to the man, witnessed an event and then read about it in the trades the next day and none of what they describe is actually true,” McQuarrie, 55, told the podcast.

“Mission: Impossible” is not the only franchise Cruise is reportedly working on at the moment.

According to  Puck News , the action star is also working on a third “Top Gun” film.

The new project would see the return of Cruise’s Lieutenant Pete “Maverick” Mitchell and  “Top Gun: Maverick”  co-stars Miles Teller and Glen Powell. 

“Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two” will hit theaters on May 23, 2025.

Tom Cruise Poses For Photo With Kids Bella and Connor for First Time in Nearly 15 Years

Tom cruise was seen spending some quality time with kids isabella “bella” kidman and connor cruise, whom he shares with ex-wife nicole kidman. it’s the trio’s first public outing in 14 years..

This family moment will take your breath away.

Tom Cruise made his first outing with his eldest children Isabella "Bella" Kidman Cruise , 31, and Connor Cruise , 29, in nearly 15 years last December when the trio saw the Tampa Bay Lightning face off against the Florida Panthers. 

And in true pics or it didn't happen fashion, they commemorated the NHL game by posing for a group photo, which also included former NFL player Derrick Brooks .

It's a rare glimpse into Tom's family's time as both Bella and Connor—whom he shares with ex-wife Nicole Kidman —prefer to remain out of the public eye. In fact, the last time the three were seen publicly together was in 2009 when they attended a soccer game in Los Angeles. 

Both Connor and Bella also tend to keep a low profile on social media, with the artist sharing an occasional selfie amid her work. As for Connor, he last shared a selfie in June while with his pals in Florida.

However, over the years, Tom—who is also dad to Suri Cruise , 18, whom he shares with ex-wife Katie Holmes —and Connor have attended sporting events together, cheering on Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Dodgers and Maryland Terrapins.

But it's no surprise that Connor and Bella prefer to stay out of the limelight, as Nicole and Tom agreed it was best for the kids since they were young.

"I'm very private about all that," the Moulin Rouge actress—who is also mom to daughters Sunday Rose Kidman Urban , 15, and Faith Margaret Kidman Urban , 13, with husband Keith Urban —told Australian outlet Who in 2018. "I have to protect all those relationships. I know 150 percent that I would give up my life for my children because it's what my purpose is."

Tom Cruise Then & Now: See The Actor’s Evolution From ‘Risky Business’ & ‘Top Gun’ Fame To Today

Tom Cruise is one of the most popular actors in the movie industry and his journey in getting there was one full of iconic moments that we're taking a look back on right here!

Tom Cruise , 59, has been a household name in the entertainment industry and beyond for many years now, but it didn’t happen without some memorable times in amazing films! The talented actor is known for his ability to be versatile when it comes to the types of characters he plays and we’re happily reminiscing on some of our favorites right here. From a breakthrough role as Joel, a high school senior who gets in over his head while his parents are away on vacation, in 1983’s Risky Business , to the role of talent agent Jerry Maguire, who was bitten by the love bug in the 1996 film, Tom always does his job incredibly well!

Shortly after starting his acting career in the 1980s, Tom snagged his role in Risky Business (who can forget that amazing dance scene by the staircase?!) as well as the role of US Navy pilot LT Pete “Maverick” Mitchell in 1986’s Top Gun . He then went on to appear in other high-profile roles in films like The Color of Money (1986), Rain Man (1988), and Born on the Fourth of July (1989), for which he received a Golden Globe Award and a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor.

His film career expanded even further when he appeared in 1992’s A Few Good Men and the thriller The Firm the following year. 1996’s Jerry Maguire , in which Tom played a sports agent who comes across some hard times and falls in love at the same time, was another huge role that came after the success of Interview with the Vampire in 1994. He won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor for the role and his second nomination for an Academy Award.

Tom won another Golden Globe Award and received another Academy Award nomination for his role in 1999’s Magnolia . The film was followed by the series of one of his most popular features, Mission: Impossible . He starred as Ethan Hunt in all six of the films, starting from 1996 until 2018, and in 2020, he was filming the seventh installment in Rome.

In addition to his incredible acting skills, Tom is known for often doing his own stunts , even when they’re dangerous ones. He has proven time and time again that he takes his job very seriously and is willing to go above and beyond to portray whatever role he takes on in the best way he can. Check out the gallery above to relive some of Tom’s best times in his professional and personal life!

Tom Cruise re-emerges: Actor looks his age after viral photos of his changing appearance

Tom Cruise went viral last month after photos emerged of the actor at a baseball game with a different appearance.  

This weekend, the 59-year-old actor was spotted at the Duxford Airfield in Cambridge, England, looking more like himself.

The upcoming M: 18 is the follow-up to the 2018 movie Mission: Impossible Fallout and is scheduled for release in 2023.

The actor appeared less bloated in the newer images compared to a month ago when he was subject to rumors about potentially undergoing cosmetic surgery.

Mission Impossible 7 has finished filming

Despite currently filming scenes for Mission Impossible 8, the previous installment is yet to be released.

As with many movies in recent times, Mission Impossible 7 has had several COVID-related delays.

Mission Impossible 7 gaffer Martin Smith revealed that the movie had finished wrapping in September on his Instagram account.

The movie is currently in post-production and is scheduled for release on September 30, 2022.

Tom Cruise talks about filming Mission Impossible

Tom Cruise first starred as Ethan Hunt in the 1996 movie Mission Impossible.

The spy movie, which the actor produced, was a commercial and critical success and was the third highest-grossing film that year.

In a recent interview, he spoke about creating the movie in a clip via GamesRadar .

“I looked at Paramount, and I thought what I wanted to produce was something – I looked at it in many different ways… I wanted something that was going to be very commercial, potentially, but I wanted something that was going to be artistically challenging,” Cruise explains.

In an interview about the film, Tom Cruise explained the movie’s challenges in several countries.

“What is the challenge of this thing going to be? I wanted it to be an international film, and an international cast,” Cruise adds. “Which at that time was different. I wanted to shoot it in England… I remember they said, ‘Can’t you shoot it in LA, or New York?’ And I was like, ‘No, I actually, I want to go to London.'”

In addition, the busy actor is also promoting the upcoming movie Top Gun: Maverick, which is scheduled for release next year.

Tom Cruise's rare photo with all three children - including Suri he doesn't see

Tom Cruise , a father of three children born from his past relationships with former wives Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes , usually keeps his familial life under the radar.

Despite their seldom visible connection with their renowned father , an extraordinary family snapshot has surfaced.

This comes aa the Hollywood star turns 62 today (3 July).

• Suri Cruise slams dad Tom with new name at high school graduation
• Travis Kelce shares moment with Tom Cruise while watching Taylor Swift perform

Unearthing an archived photograph dating back to 2008, fans recall the rare occasion where all members of the Cruise family were present at a Major League Soccer game between New York Red Bulls and LA Galaxy at Home Depot Center.

The picture captures Cruise clutching his daughter Suri, whose mother is his ex-wife Katie Holmes.

Suri appears disinterested in the soccer match unfolding before her likely owing to being a mere toddler at the time.

Cruise's other children, Isabella and Connor adopted during his marriage with Nicole Kidman, on the other hand, can be seen engrossed in the game.

Cruise may not maintain frequent contact with his children currently. He was notably absent during Suri's significant 18th birthday celebration in New York while he was engaged in shooting scenes in London for an upcoming film.

However, he regularly expresses his fervent desire for fulfilling the role of a devoted father.

Opening up to Vanity Fair in 2006, Cruise revealed: "My whole life I always wanted to be a father.

"I always said to myself that my children would be able to depend on me and I would always be there for them and love them-that I'd never make a promise to my kids that I couldn't keep."

Connor and Isabella Cruise, children of Hollywood star,, have chosen a more laid-back lifestyle, far removed from their father's glamorous career.

Connor is pursuing his passions as a DJ and chef, along with deep-sea fishing, while Isabella leads a quiet life in London.

Suri, Tom's daughter with ex-wife Katie Holmes , has had limited contact with her father since her parents' divorce in 2012.

Raised by her mother in New York, the mother-daughter duo shares a close bond, often seen on shopping trips or strolling around Manhattan.

Tom recently spent time with Connor in London, where they were spotted disembarking from a helicopter.

Despite Tom's high-profile visit to Glastonbury for Coldplay's Saturday night performance, where he was seen with celebrities like Gillian Anderson and Simon Pegg, Connor maintained a low profile.

He was seen wearing a black hoodie and carrying a heavy bag, keeping his distance from the limelight despite numerous interview offers.

Tom Cruise's new photo suggests long-awaited family reunion days ahead of 62nd birthday

The mission impossible actor shares two children with ex nicole kidman and a daughter, suri, with katie holmes.

Tom Cruise' s big day on July 3 could be a family affair if new photos are anything to go by.  The Top Gun actor was snapped with his son, Connor , in London ahead of the weekend marking a very rare appearance with the 29-year-old. 

Given the fact Connor made the trip across the pond from his home in Florida to see his dad, there's every chance they'll ring in his birthday together.

Not only that, but Tom's other daughter, Bella, resides in England too.

Connor and Bella are close to their dad, despite their long-distance relationship. 

Both children have carved out successful careers for themselves; Connor is a keen sea fisherman and also runs a BBQ meat business and Bella is an artist.

The siblings were adopted by Tom and their mom,  Nicole Kidman , during their marriage. 

Tom is also a dad to Suri, who he shares with his ex-wife, Katie Holmes , however, he's believed to be estranged from the 18-year-old. 

She's dropped his last name, and now goes by Suri Noelle. 

Tom hasn't publicly addressed his relationship with his youngest daughter but previously spoke about the joy fatherhood brings him. 

"I'll never forget the moment I became a dad," he told Esquire in 2010, four years after Suri was born and two years before he split with Katie.  "But it's hard to describe — that level of responsibility, the desire to give such joy. 

"The clarity: Nothing is more important than this. I remember that first night, just staring at Bella.  I was checking her every second, just looking at her, feeling that immediate bond. I was probably looking at her so much that I was keeping her up."

He's maintained a strong fatherly bond with Connor and Bella, who joined the Church of Scientology like their dad. 

Tom is not believed to have contact with Nicole or Katie.

Nicole hasn't been pictured publicly with her two oldest children since 2007, but she insists she has a relationship with them. 

"I have to protect those relationships," she told Harper's Bazaar. "I know 150 per cent that I would give up my life for my children because it’s what my purpose is. 

"They are adults. They are able to make their own decisions. They have made choices to be Scientologists and, as a mother, it’s my job to love them."

15 of Tom Cruise's Dreamiest Throwback Photos in Honor of His Birthday

From being an 'Outsider' to becoming 'Top Gun,' the 'Mission Impossible' star turns 61 on July 3, 2023

Tom Cruise turns 61 on July 3, 2023, and to celebrate, we're going to kick back with a Cocktail, turn on the latest Mission: Impossible and maybe engage in some Risky Business. Or, we could just look back on these 15 dreamy throwbacks of the Hollywood all-star!

All-American Guy

A popped collar and double denim? Tom Cruise circa 1980 was totally dreamy. Cruise wouldn't get his acting break until 1981 , when he appeared in the film Endless Love, but he was already a star!

Totally Preppy

A young Tom Cruise wearing a corduroy jacket with elbow patches makes us wish he could tutor us after school.

Greaser Dude

Cruise hit the big screen in 1982 as Steve Randle in The Outsiders.

The Outsiders

At the premiere of the film in 1982, Cruise, Rob Lowe and Emilio Estevez made a pretty great-looking trio.

Taking Risks

In 1983, Cruise starred in Risky Business and we will never look at a men's dress shirt and tighty-whities the same ever again.

Cool and Casual

At a screening for Risky Business , Cruise had us swooning with his long locks, T-shirt and jeans.

Long Hair, Don't Hair

Cruise let his luscious locks fly free at the premiere of The Breakfast Club in 1985.

Is there anything more attractive than Tom Cruise going incognito in a leather jacket and sunglasses in 1985?

An Officer and a Gentleman

Well, okay, his character in Top Gun was technically a lieutenant, but you get the picture.

Cruise had a head of hair that defied physics and a jaw that could cut glass at the 1986 Top Gun premiere afterparty.

Sorry, we forgot what we were saying, we got lost in Cruise's blue eyes!

Black Tie Affair

Cruise looks just as good dressed to the nines as he does dressed in jeans and a T-shirt.

How about a Cocktail ? Cruise starred in the film (and rocked this blue floral shirt) in 1988.

Winner, Winner

In 1990, Cruise won the People's Choice Award for his role in Born on the Fourth of July.

Standing Firm

Cruise starred in the 1993 legal thriller, The Firm , in which he played a Harvard-educated lawyer, a.k.a. the man of our dreams (despite his character's shady business dealings).

Tom Cruise gets audience ‘riled up’ after surprising fans at Twisters premiere

Share this with

Hollywood heavy-hitter Tom Cruise with his bucket of popcorn got Londoners ‘riled up’ during his shock appearance at the premiere of Twisters .

The Mission Impossible star surprised everyone in the Leicester Square cinema as he joined his friend Glen Powell to promote the film.

When speaking on the One Show after the premiere, Glen discussed how Tom was a huge presence during the screening but in the most humble way.

‘To experience that with an audience and Tom, I mean he was like getting the audience riled up, he was laughing louder than anyone and cheering, it was great,’ he shared.

The duo previously worked together on Top Gun Maverick and have remained in touch ever since but Glen didn’t expect the star to back his career so enthusiastically.

‘Tom was just so excited for all of us,’ he shared, explaining the core cast had sat in a group with the Top Gun icon right next to him.

Glen continued: ‘He’s turning around to Daisy (Edgar-Jones) being like ‘that was great’. It is such a cool quality, he is such a rare individual who just really roots for everybody.

‘But really roots for people that want to entertain audiences, and this movie is really all about that. This is a big summer blockbuster and it delivers in every way.’

Videos quickly went viral of the 62-year-old actor seeming incredibly down-to-earth as he mingled with fans at Twisters’ European premiere.

One clip saw Tom directing photographers to get the perfect shot of himself and Glen, 35, flashing their pearly whites in front of the screen.

To get the latest news from the capital visit Metro.co.uk's London news hub .

‘Fun night with friends, watching a movie!!’ Tom wrote on X as he shared the snap with his Top Gun Maverick co-star.

Glen, who has skyrocketed to fame , also posted the picture and said: ‘When your wingman follows you into the storm…’

The Set It Up star was dressed in a black suit with white piping along the jacket edge, with a black unbuttoned shirt underneath.

Tom, who Glen once described as a ‘kindred spirit’, kept things more casual, opting for a t-shirt and suede bomber jacket paired with jeans.

‘Great night at the movies for the premiere of #twisters not every night you get to watch a movie with #TomCruise,’ wrote Angus Ashworth on X.

User tweetyenergy added: ‘Tom directing the photo so you can see Twisters in the background what a legend.’

Despite appearing at the premiere, the Jerry Maguire actor does not star in Twisters and clearly just dropped by to support his pal.

Fans on X quickly joked that Glen had been ‘anointed’ as the next big star, having broken into the mainstream with lead roles in Anyone But You and Hit Man .

‘Huge for the girlies who never moved on from top gun maverick,’ wrote Leah as film critic Clarisse Loughrey joked: ‘Love to see such a supportive dad.’

Other fans teased that the ‘thirst trap’ posted by Glen hours before, where he held his tiny dog wearing nothing but a towel, hadn’t had quite the impact he expected.

This isn’t the first time Tom has done this though, as last summer he randomly posed with posters for Barbie , Oppenheimer , and Joy Ride.

Of course, the Tom Cruise seal of approval won’t hurt Twisters’ box office, especially when he’s advertising it to his 6.9million X followers.

Since Top Gun in 2022, the cast have shared various behind-the-scenes stories about the Hollywood icon’s support of their careers.

Glen, who plays Lt. Jake ‘Hangman’ Seresin in the film, also revealed that stunt-happy Tom once pretended to lose control of a helicopter they were flying in.

‘Tom goes, “Oh no, oh no,” and he starts dropping the helicopter over London,’ he shared.

The Scream Queens actor recalled thinking, ‘Am I about to be the unnamed guy that dies with Tom in a smoking hole in the middle of London?’

‘I got to watch a guy who knew every department. He was able to clearly interface with everyone, be so friendly and respectful, and be able to communicate that vision,’ he added.

The cyclone disaster film – a stand-alone sequel to 1996’s Twister – sees Glen starring as charming storm-chaser Tyler Owens.

Daisy Edgar-Jones plays leading woman Kate Cooper, who is haunted by a ‘devastating’ encounter with a tornado.

Rounding out the cast are Hamilton’s Anthony Ramos, The OA’s Brandon Perea, Loki’s Sasha Lane, and The Politician’s David Corenswet.

Twisters is in cinemas from July 19.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

It’s not “mission impossible” for him to see at least one of his kids.

Tom Cruise was seen deplaning a helicopter alongside his son, Connor Cruise, in central London Friday — a week after skipping his youngest child Suri Cruise’s high school graduation .

Paparazzi snapped the action movie star, 61, wearing a short-sleeved, gray shirt that showcased his muscular arms and a pair of jeans as he grinned from ear to ear while leaving the heliport.

Connor, 29, meanwhile, was dressed comfortably in a black hoodie, gray slacks, sneakers, a matching cap and a pair of shades. The expression on his face, unlike his dad, was serious and calm.

Per eyewitnesses, the father-son duo were joined by a few other unnamed guests during the aerial outing.

Tom’s sighting with Connor comes as he faces backlash for missing a milestone celebration in Suri’s life.

A day after missing the 18-year-old’s graduation from LaGuardia High School, the “Mission Impossible” star chose to party with Swifties and celebs at Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in London last Saturday.

Tom was spotted laughing and schmoozing with the pop superstar’s boyfriend , Travis Kelce, in the VIP tent and exchanging friendship bracelets across the pond.

Meanwhile, Suri rang in her commencement ceremony with mom Katie Holmes and fellow students.

It’s not surprising Tom didn’t make it to his daughter’s big day, though, as they’ve been estranged for years .

In March 2023, a source exclusively confirmed to Page Six that the “Top Gun” star has “no part” in the teen’s life, which he previously admitted in a deposition lawsuit was due to his  ties to Scientology .

When Holmes, 45, called it quits with Tom in 2011, she and Suri no longer had any part in the controversial church, which reportedly does not allow its members to associate with nonbelievers.

In November 2018, Kidman, 57, opened up about Connor and his sister Bella Cruise’s decision to remain part of the Church of Scientology.

Kidman — who is now married to Keith Urban — divorced Tom in 2001.
