Cruise roles
Tom Cruise shows no signs of slowing down
Cruise has been with the Mission Impossible franchise since it kicked off in 1996. Since then he has only gotten bolder with his stunts as Hunt. He has used a combination of tricks, misdirection, muscle and some fantastic bike chases to maintain global peace and world order. With two more films lined up, 56-year-old Cruise is showing no signs of slowing down!
Opinion
Franchise's success prompted the two back to back movies
As we mentioned, the two upcoming Mission Impossible films will be shot back to back. The studio decided to extend full support to the franchise following its commercial box office success, earning $790 million or Rs. 5,611 crore worldwide. The earnings proved that the franchise had the potential to be a crowd-puller, convincing Paramount Pictures to greenlight these two new franchise films.
