Spoiler photos for the upcoming Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two have been leaked and it looks like Tom Cruise’s iconic character Ethan Hawk could find himself in trouble.
The iconic actor, famous for pulling off his own stunts while filming the Mission Impossible franchise, has been seen filming scenes as Ethan Hawk in England’s capital. Tom has been spotted filming a scene near Downing Street where it appears his character Ethan has been captured.
In a series of behind-the-scenes photos, Tom is seen on his knees with his hands in the air, but could this mean the of Ethan in the upcoming eighth instalment of the franchise? Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two will see Ethan’s battle with the Entity continue.
As well as being spotted in London, the actor has been seen filming an action scene for an upcoming movie in Derbyshire, in a dirt-covered Jeep, as well as aerial footage showing evidence of a film set, according to the BBC.

Simon Pegg posted a selfie on Instagram with co-stars Hayley Atwell, Pom Klementieff, and Tarzan Davis and wrote the cryptic caption: “Saving the world has never been so much fun.” In the new addition to the franchise, IMF agent Ethan and his allies will go up against a number of antagonists as they aim to get control of the AI weapon known as the entity.
Mission Impossible fans can expect plenty of death-defying stunts. The new movie is scheduled to be released on May, 23, 2025. Filming initially began in May 2022 but was paused due to writers’ and actors’ strikes.
Esai Morales as villain Gabriel, Shea Wigham and Greg Tarzan Davis as CIA agents Jasper and Degas, and Pom Klementieff as assassin Paris are in line for a return. Henry Czerny will also reprise his role as IMF director Eugene Kittridge, while Rolf Saxon will return as another character who first appeared in the very first Mission: Impossible film – CIA analyst William Donloe.

Meanwhile, Dakota Fanning recently revealed that Tom Cruise still sends her a birthday gift every year after she was gifted her first mobile phone from the actor. Dakota starred in Uptown Girls with the actor. She made the revelation during a joint interview with her Ripley co-star Andrew Scott for Harper’s Bazaar earlier this week.
Andrew was asked: “Who gave Dakota her first cell phone?” To which he guessed: “Okay, well it’s gotta be some Hollywood icon… Tom Cruise?”
“Yes,” she confirmed. “It was a Motorola Razr,” before her co-star asked: “Wow! Were you so excited?”
“Oh my God, I was so excited,” Dakota replied. “I didn’t have anyone to call or text at the time. You know, I was 11…But I loved having it!” The actress revealed she “still keeps in touch” with the actor, adding: “Tom still sends me a birthday gift every year and has since that birthday.”
