Production continues on the highly anticipatedMission: Impossible 6in Paris, and some new video from the set has surfaced that offers a taste of one of the film’s action set pieces.Tom Cruisehit the streets of the French city yesterday to film a portion of a sequence in which he rides a motorcycle with no helmet. Cruise and Co. have been shooting portions of this scene for the past few days/weeks, so one presumes this motorcycle chase is a key action set piece in theMission: Impossiblesequel.
And that’s good news!Christopher McQuarrie, who wrote and directedMission: Impossible – Rogue Nationas well asJack Reacher, is at the helm, and he’s proven to be a terrific director of chase sequences.Reacherhas the famous car chase scene with zero music—just the hum of the engine to drive the action along—andRogue Nationincluded a humorous car chase involving Cruise andSimon Peggwhich then turned into a motorcycle chase.
I’ll be curious to see how McQuarrie and Cruise make this motorcycle chase different and fresh. That was one of McQuarrie’s key points about becoming the onlyMission: Impossibledirector to helm two installments—he wanted to ensure that6feels different and fresh in relation toRogue Nation. He’s working with a new cinematographer this time around,Rob Hardy, which was an inspired choice. Hardy recently served as DP onEx MachinaandTestament of Youth, and shotAlex Garland’s highly anticipated next filmAnnihilation, butMission: Impossible 6marks the biggest film he’s shot to date.
All of that is exciting enough, and then you throwHenry Cavillwith a mustache into the mix and, well,Mission: Impossible 6is one of the most anticipated films on the release calendar at the moment. Check out the set video below (viaCS).Mission: Impossible 6also starsRebecca FergusonandVanessa Kirbyand opens in theaters on July 16, 2025.
