The newest trailer for the upcoming eighth Mission: Impossible movie dropped on Monday, ramping up excitement for Ethan Hunt and The Final Reckoning. Tom Cruise once again returns as the lead, looking to somehow outdo his hanging off a dangling train car or jumping off a cliff on a motorcycle stunts.
A report from Hollywood writer Jeff Sneider (@theinsneider) on Tuesday floated the idea that Cruise had his Hunt-in-waiting lined up in Top Gun: Maverick co-star Glen Powell. ESPN’s Pat McAfee wasted no time trying to get to the bottom of the rumor, calling the Twisters actor during Tuesday’s Pat McAfee Show.
When asked about the rumor, Powell had the perfect retort in denial. “My mom would never let me do that.”
Let's call Glen Powell…
We just wanted to say congratulations..
