The badass agent of IMF, Ethan Hunt was FINALLY spotted at the Super Bowl night in all his badassery and glory. No, he was not playing for any team, we are talking about the much-awaited trailer of ‘Mission: Impossible Fallout’ that dropped during the game.
The whole world witnessed Hunt in all his glory doing what he does best – kicking ass and running from his own organization that has YET again turned against him.

Honestly, after last night, we think Super Bowl should just change its name to Super Trailers Championship, thanks to the insane number of teasers and trailers that were dropped during the game. Marvel came along with 40 superheroes from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Rock introduced the teaser of his ‘Skyscraper’ project and Chris Pratt reignited in our hearts the horror of co-existing in a world with dangerous dinosaurs.

While we were beginning to enjoy this rarest of the rare night of kickass trailers being showcased back to back; it was Tom Cruise who came and blew our minds away with the trailer. And the breathtaking scenes, death-defying stunts and insane action between him and our ‘distracted boyfriend’ Henry ‘moustache’ Cavill makes for the perfect recipe for one of the biggest blockbusters of this year.

Few seconds into the trailer and you already know that you’re signing up for 2 minutes 30 seconds of sheer awesomeness. The trailer also introduces Henry Cavill’s character, August Walker, pointing at how Hunt has been betrayed and disowned by his own government so many times. In fact, he has been betrayed so many times that we’ve lost a track of it. Even Cavill says, “How long before a man like that has had enough?” What comes next is an avalanche of fist fights, shootouts, car chases, helicopter chase and intense action scenes.
Even at 55, Cruise upped his ante and is busy kicking people’s ass, performing jaw-dropping stunts and coming back with a bang despite getting seriously injured and giving actors half his age a run for their money. For those who don’t believe us, maybe this trailer will help change your opinion.

Last year Tom Cruise suffered a terrible knee injury when he misjudged a leap and crashed into a wall, while jumping from building to another in London. Cruise deserves all the respect in the world because despite injuring himself twice while filming the action scenes for ‘Mission: Impossible Fallout’, he came back and how. And director Christopher McQuirrie made sure that Cruise’s injuries do not go in vain, by turning it into one of the most breathtaking scenes.
‘Mission: Impossible Fallout’ also features Angela Bassett, Rebecca Ferguson, Alec Baldwin and Simon Pegg and is expected to release on July 27, 2018.
