25 Most Hotly Anticipated Movies Of Summer 2018 - Ranked

5. Mission: Impossible – Fallout

Mission Impossible 6 Tom Cruise Simon Pegg Rebecca Ferguson Ving Rhames
Paramount

Release Date: July 27

Billed As: After a botched IMF operation, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) once again finds himself on the run from enemies and apparent allies alike, as he ventures to stop a global cataclysm.

Hype: Ignore the laughably generic title and the sixth Mission: Impossible movie sure looks like it's going to further the series' hot streak of quality, well-crafted, ludicrously entertaining action flicks.

While the premise of Hunt going rogue for literally the fifth time isn't all that interesting, the addition of Henry Cavill as the intense new antagonist, the franchise actually keeping hold of a female character for once (Rebecca Ferguson returns as Ilsa Faust) and the delirious-looking set-pieces should more-than-compensate.

And above all else, you know there's going to be a jaw-dropping sequence where Cruise risks life and limb for our entertainment. Get hype.
