“Each action scene is long, crazy and intense. The story is big and expansive, but I love how it both felt complete and left you longing for what comes next.”

Dead Reckoning Part One is a long time coming as production was halted a number of times in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

It was shot back-to-back with its direct sequel, Dead Reckoning Part Two.

It was initially reported that the two films were the final chapters as reported by various publications including Screen Rant.

In addition to the hype surrounding a new addition to the Mission Impossible franchise, the fans and media were also intrigued by rumors that co-stars Tom and Hayley had secretly dated during filming.

But Hayley efficiently silenced the rumble as she spoke for the first time about her ‘close’ relationship with Tom in an interview in the May-June issue of Country and town house.

“I felt like if I ever worried about it I could talk to him [Tom]the newly engaged star said of the dating rumours.

“And I know he would have said, ‘People say what they want to say, but you know who you are, I know who I am, and I want you to feel safe in this environment.'”

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, which stars Cruise and Atwell, as well as Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby and Henry Czerny, hits theaters July 12.
