Cannes, May 15
Hollywood star Tom Cruise landed at the Cannes Film Festival in style on Wednesday night, leaving fans excited as he arrived for the premiere of his upcoming film 'Mission: Impossible -- The Final Reckoning,' reported The Hollywood Reporter.
The 61-year-old actor was joined by his longtime collaborator and director Christopher McQuarrie as they walked the red carpet. The actor was seen taking selfies with excited fans and signing autographs for them. Fans, upon seeing the actor, were also spotted waving posters and memorabilia from Cruise's earlier films like The Last Samurai and Mission: Impossible II. Some even created a small tribute to Val Kilmer, Cruise's co-star from Top Gun, reported The Hollywood Reporter.

Cruise last attended the festival in 2022 for the premiere of Top Gun: Maverick, which had received a six-minute standing ovation and earned him an honorary Palme d'Or. Fighter jets even lit up the sky in the colors of the French flag during that visit.
Apart from Cruise, the cast of Mission: Impossible -- The Final Reckoning also includes Simon Pegg as Benji Dunn, Ving Rhames as Luther Stickell, Vanessa Kirby as Alanna Mitsopolis, Hayley Atwell as Grace, Esai Morales as the antagonist Gabriel, Shea Whigham as Jasper Briggs, Greg Tarzan Davis as Degas, and Pom Klementieff as the assassin Paris, according to Variety.
Meanwhile, the film is set to hit theaters on May 23. Indian fans will get to see it early, with a release date of May 17, a full six days before its global release.

Tom Cruise is ageless! 61 and still doing his own stunts like a boss 🇮🇳 Excited that we get early release in India - shows how important our market is for Hollywood now. The Last Samurai is still my favorite Cruise film though!
The dedication this man shows to his craft is inspiring. But I do wish Bollywood would learn from his professionalism rather than just copying action sequences. Our industry needs this level of commitment to quality.
Early release in India is great, but ticket prices for Hollywood films are becoming ridiculous. ₹800 for a multiplex ticket? At least give us better theater experiences if we're paying this much.
The Val Kilmer tribute made me emotional 🥺 Top Gun was my childhood! Can't wait to see what stunts Tom has prepared this time. Hope they don't overdo the CGI though - the real stunts are what make MI special.
While I enjoy these films, I wonder when we'll see an Indian action star get this level of global recognition. We have the talent, but our films need better writing and international appeal beyond just song sequences.
The French jets lighting up the sky last time was epic! Hope they do something special for this premiere too. Tom Cruise knows how to put on a show both on and off screen ðŸ‘
