FilmmakerChristopher McQuarriecontinues to share sneak peeks at the characters ofMission: Impossible 6, and today it’sHenry Cavill’s turn to shine in the spotlight. TheMan of Steelactor looks to be a pretty major part of the ensemble, although plot details are being kept under tight wraps and we don’t yet know exactly how he fits into the film. While Cavill is best known for playing Superman in the DCEU, it was inGuy Ritchie’sMan from U.N.C.L.E.where he really got to show off his range, and that’s the touchstone that really makes me excited for his addition to theMission: Impossibleensemble. Cavill is genuinely hilarious in that film, and certainly proves he can handle spycraft in a convincing manner. Not to mention the guy is scientificallytoohandsome.
This set photo shows off Cavill’s mustache and spy get-up, but below we’ve also included some other recent images that McQuarrie has shared, includingAnglea Bassettas the new CIA director in the film.
McQuarrie is the only director to return in theMission: Impossiblefranchise after writing and directing the terrificMission: Impossible – Rogue Nation.He’s taken great pains to ensure thatM:I 6feels different from his previous film, including switching things up withEx MachinacinematographerRob Hardyand focusing on a much more personal story forTom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt. I contend that McQuarrie is one of the most insightful and exciting filmmakers working today, and I really can’t wait to see what he’s cooked up here.
Check out Cavill and a few other set photos below, as it looks like production has now shifted from Paris to New Zealand.Mission: Impossible 6also starsRebecca Ferguson,Vanessa Kirby,Simon Pegg,Ving Rhames,Sean Harris, andAlec Baldwin. The film opens in theaters on June 02, 2025.
