Holt McCallany, an actor known for his wide range of roles in Hollywood, is gearing up for a big appearance in the final movie of the Mission: Impossible series, The Final Reckoning, where he’ll be starring alongside Tom Cruise.

At the New York City premiere of his upcoming film The Amateur, McCallany took a moment to share his excitement about the upcoming Mission: Impossible film, even though he hasn’t seen it yet.

McCallany also had words of admiration for his co-star Tom Cruise. The actor, known for his role in Wrath of Man, acknowledged that Cruise is one of the biggest stars in the world and how lucky he felt to share the screen with such a global icon. McCallany expressed his belief that The Final Reckoning will be a huge success, especially because it marks the end of the long-running Mission: Impossible franchise.

For those who aren’t familiar, McCallany will be playing the role of Secretary of Defense Bernstein in the upcoming Mission: Impossible film, which will pick up right where Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning (2023) left off. Alongside McCallany and Cruise, the movie will feature other big names like Simon Pegg, Hayley Atwell, Pom Klementieff, Esai Morales, and Ving Rhames.

The excitement surrounding this final chapter in the Mission: Impossible series is certainly building, and McCallany is clearly thrilled to be a part of it.
