Tom Cruise is back at what he does best! A new trailer for Mission Impossible 8 dropped during the Super Bowl and we caught a glimpse of some new death-defying stunts that Tom Cruise performed with a smile on his face. “I need you to trust me — one last time,” he can be heard saying to his fellow IMF teammates, urging them to take up a new deathly task of saving the world in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.

Mission Impossible 8 trailer dropped during Super Bowl

The trailer which dropped during the Super Bowl doesn’t elaborate on the kind of stunts that Tom has done in the film, but at one point we can see him dangling from a plane in a death-defying stunt. The franchise is filled with signature stunts – from riding a motorcycle off a cliff to scaling the side of the Burj Khalifa.

But this film pushed his limits, admitted Tom Cruise in an interview earlier. Speaking to Empire magazine, Tom said, “When you stick your face out [of an airplane], going over 120 to 130 miles an hour, you’re not getting oxygen. So I had to train myself how to breathe. There were times I would pass out physically; I was unable to get back into the cockpit.”

Mission Impossible 8 teaser also includes footage of someone breaking into a nuclear submarine that’s rapidly flooding, as well as shots of Cruise sprinting away from an unseen threat.

For those unversed, Mission Impossible - The Final Reckoning was originally conceived as Part Two to the previous Mission: Impossible outing, Dead Reckoning. The first trailer, which was released last November, revealed the Final Reckoning title — and that Angela Bassett would return as CIA Director Erika Sloane after she first appeared in Mission: Impossible – Fallout.
