With plot details kept under wraps at the moment for the sixth "Mission: Impossible," film fans have been eagerly anticipating any semblance of news from either director Christopher McQuarrie who also directed the fifth installment of the series, "Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation" in 2015," or the star of the franchise, Tom Cruise. McQuarrie did not disappoint.
In his Instagram account, McQuarrie had been teasing fans with stills from the upcoming movie, with the latest post about the final touches to the film's first ever trailer.
Cruise will star alongside Simon Pegg and newcomers "Man of Steel" actor Henry Cavill and "The Crown's" Vanessa Kirby. "Mission: Impossible 6" will also be bringing back Cruise's former costars Michelle Monaghan from "Mission: Impossible 3" and Sean Harris, Alec Baldwin and Rebecca Ferguson from "Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation." McQuarrie posted a photo of Ferguson on his Instagram page, exciting fans who have been waiting for her character's participation in the upcoming movie.
"Mission: Impossible 6" has been a talk of the town due to two things: Cruise's injury and Cavill's infamous mustache.
According to CinemaBlend, Cruise had broken his ankle while attempting to perform a stunt that involved him hopping from one building to another in mid-August last year. He was given weeks off to heal while McQuarrie utilized the down time to edit the movie. This January, after healing from his injury, he started filming stunts again.
However, he was rumored to have injured himself again. TMZ reported that he slipped while leaping out of a window in London. He was supposedly seen using crutches after the said incident. At the moment, there has been no official statement addressing this rumor.
Cavill, on the other hand, stirred up quite a fiasco for his mustache. His character for "Mission: Impossible 6" is mustached and he is, according to Vanity Fair, required by Paramount in his contract to keep his mustache until the movie has finished filming. Problem reportedly arose when he had to reshoot scenes for "Justice League," in which he stars as Superman, who doesn't sport a mustache.
Nonetheless, the issue between Warner Bros. and Paramount who are distributing "Justice League" and "Mission: Impossible" series, respectively, was eventually resolved after Warner Bros. opted to use computer-generated imagery or visual effects to remove Cavill's mustache.
"Mission: Impossible 6" is set to be released in theaters this July 27.
