It’s impossible not to marvel at his stamina.
Tom Cruise showed off his incredible athleticism in new photos from the set of “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two” in London on Sunday.
In photos obtained by The Post, Cruise, 61, can be seen sporting shaggy hair and a white shirt drenched in fake blood as he sprints across Westminster Bridge. Big Ben and the Palace of Westminster appear in the background in the action-packed shot.
While little is known about the film, which has been reported to serve as Cruise’s final appearance as Ethan Hunt, it can be assumed that Hunt will be forced to flee some sort of fancy gathering.
In addition to Cruise, several photos were captured of Parliament Square being barricaded off and filled with background actors dressed in army uniforms and helmets.
Many of the extras were spotted carrying prop guns as they milled around several army jeeps waiting for their next take.
Several fences that were put up around the area had various warnings such as “Restricted Area,” “Police security operation” and “Security checkpoint ahead.”
Despite the seriousness of the scene, the “Jerry Maguire” actor — who is well known for doing his own stunts — was spotted laughing and chatting with the crew.
The eighth installment of the “Mission Impossible” series, which stars Simon Pegg, Vanessa Kirby, Hayley Atwell and Pom Klementieff, is set to be released nearly two years after the first part, which was nominated for Best Sound and Visual Effects at the 2024 Oscars.
Despite the rumors that both parts of the film were designed to serve as a send-off to Cruise’s character, director Christopher McQuarrie told the “Light the Fuse” podcast that fans can’t believe everything they hear.
“Let me tell you, I’ve been working with Tom Cruise for 15 years and I cannot tell you the number of times I’ve been standing next to the man, witnessed an event and then read about it in the trades the next day and none of what they describe is actually true,” McQuarrie, 55, told the podcast.
“Mission Impossible” is not the only franchise Cruise is reportedly working on at the moment.
According to Puck News, the action star is also working on a third “Top Gun” film.
The new project would see the return of Cruise’s Lieutenant Pete “Maverick” Mitchell and “Top Gun: Maverick” co-stars Miles Teller and Glen Powell.
“Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two” will hit theaters on May 23, 2025.
