- "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One" introduces a major storyline about artificial intelligence.
- Thankfully, you won't have to wait long to see that play out.
"Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One" pits Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) against a nefarious artificial intelligence that could be used as a terrifying weapon should it fall into the wrong hands. The entity itself can predict — and alter — anyone's life — even spies like Hunt and his team.
"Part One" follows Hunt as he searches for a key that will help neutralize the A.I. And because this is a "Mission: Impossible" movie, this involves putting himself in death-defying situations, like throwing himself off of a Norwegian mountain and fighting bad guy Gabriel (Esai Morales) on top of a train.
But for all of Cruise's daredevil stunts, there's still more of the mission left by the film's end. So, here's when audiences can expect "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part Two."
When is "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part Two" out?
The "Dead Reckoning Part Two" story remains somewhat of a mystery. However, it'll probably involve Hunt doing even bigger stunts to keep the A.I. on its toes while keeping the technology away from certain world powers who would use it for destructive purposes.
Thankfully, fans won't have too long to wait for "Part Two." It's set to arrive in theaters on June 28, 2024, with several new characters in tow.
Who's in the "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part Two" cast?
Tom Cruise will be joined by many of the "Dead Reckoning Part One" characters, including Rebecca Ferguson as Ilsa Faust, Simon Pegg as Benji Dunn, Ving Rhames as Luther Stickell, Esai Morales as Gabriel, Pom Klementieff as Paris, as well as Henry Czerny, who is reprising his role as Eugene Kittridge. He appeared in the first "Mission: Impossible" in 1996 before returning for 2023's "Part One."
Vanessa Kirby will also reprise her role as black market arms dealer Alanna Mitsopolis, alongside Shea Whigham as bounty hunter Jasper Briggs and Greg Tarzan Davis as Degas, Briggs' partner.
A few new faces are set to join "Dead Reckoning Part Two," including "Ted Lasso" star Hannah Waddingham and "Mindhunter" alumni Holt McCallany as Secretary of Defense Bernstein.
"The Last of Us" star Nick Offerman will also appear as a new character, while Rolf Saxon is reprising his role as CIA analyst William Donloe from the first film. He's the person the IMF poisons to gain access to a CIA vault so that Hunt can steal a list of known spies from a secure computer. We're looking forward to seeing how McQuarrie uses him in "Part Two."
