Following the famous skydive in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, Tom Cruise is now performing another risky stunt for the upcoming Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning movie. He has shared a new behind-the-scenes look at him performing this stunt for the final Mission: Impossible film.

On X (formerly Twitter), Cruise shared an image of himself underwater, training and holding his breath, and wrote, “The training and preparation we put into this film is a culmination of all that came before it. From the depths to the skies, I can’t wait to share more with you.” See the image below.
