Last week, during CinemaCon in Las Vegas, Tom Cruise took the stage to pay tribute to Christopher McQuarrie, the director of “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning,” set for release in May 2025. The event, held on the evening of Thursday, April 3, celebrated McQuarrie’s receipt of the Director of the Year award, spotlighting his long-standing partnership with the Hollywood icon. Cruise, the star of the “Mission: Impossible” franchise, captivated the audience with a heartfelt speech, praising the filmmaker’s talent and dedication, while a trailer for the upcoming film heightened anticipation. Hours later, Jeremy Renner, a former cast member from “Rogue Nation,” added a personal touch by commenting on Instagram with a nostalgic four-word message: “Miss you fine gents,” stirring memories of their time together on the action-packed series.
The tribute at CinemaCon was a standout moment in the annual convention, where industry professionals gather to preview major releases. Cruise lauded McQuarrie as a “creative brother” and an “artist for all time,” likening him to Irving Thalberg, a legendary figure from Hollywood’s golden age. Their collaboration, which began in 2008 with “Valkyrie” and solidified through the “Mission: Impossible” series, was showcased with event photos and speech snippets shared online, where Renner’s warm response quickly caught attention. The exchange highlighted the trio’s bond, forged over years of blockbuster filmmaking, and sparked speculation about future projects as fans await the franchise’s eighth installment.
Renner’s comment, posted on Friday morning, April 4, came from an actor who hasn’t appeared in a “Mission: Impossible” film since 2015’s “Rogue Nation,” directed by McQuarrie. Known for his role as Hawkeye in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Renner expressed fondness for Cruise and McQuarrie, hinting at a lingering connection despite his decade-long absence from the series. With “The Final Reckoning” poised to conclude Ethan Hunt’s saga on May 23, 2025, the CinemaCon moment and Renner’s reaction have fueled excitement and curiosity about whether this could signal a reunion, either in the upcoming film or beyond, delighting fans eager for more from this cinematic trio.

Renner’s nostalgia sparks speculation
Jeremy Renner’s response to Cruise’s tribute brought a personal touch to the CinemaCon spotlight. Having played IMF agent William Brandt in “Ghost Protocol” (2011) and “Rogue Nation” (2015), Renner left the franchise after declining a role in “Fallout” (2018), where his character was slated to be killed off—a decision he opposed. His Instagram comment, posted on April 4, suggests a lingering affection for Cruise and McQuarrie, reigniting hopes among fans for his return.
Although not listed in the cast for “The Final Reckoning,” Renner’s message has fans speculating about a surprise cameo or a future project with the duo. His openness to reprising Brandt, expressed in past interviews, combined with this recent sentiment, keeps the possibility alive, delighting those who recall his dynamic presence alongside Cruise’s Ethan Hunt.
Cruise and McQuarrie’s enduring partnership
The collaboration between Tom Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie stands as one of Hollywood’s most prolific partnerships. It began with “Valkyrie” in 2008 and took off with “Rogue Nation” in 2015, the first “Mission: Impossible” film McQuarrie directed. Since then, he’s helmed “Fallout” (2018), “Dead Reckoning Part One” (2023), and now “The Final Reckoning,” while also co-writing hits like “Top Gun: Maverick,” which grossed over $1.4 billion worldwide in 2022.
At CinemaCon, Cruise praised McQuarrie’s vision and commitment, calling him a “creative brother” whose work resonates globally. Their partnership has propelled the “Mission: Impossible” franchise to over $4 billion in box office earnings across seven films, with “The Final Reckoning” poised to cap this legacy. The event on April 3 underscored their synergy, making Renner’s reaction a poignant echo of their shared history.

The nostalgia struck a chord, amplifying excitement for the franchise’s next chapter.
Social media erupted with speculation. Some fans envision a surprise appearance in “The Final Reckoning,” while others dream of a new collaboration beyond the IMF. Renner’s recovery from a near-fatal 2023 accident and his return to acting in “Mayor of Kingstown” add an inspiring layer to his potential comeback, fueling hope among supporters.

Renner joined in “Ghost Protocol,” the fourth installment, and stayed for “Rogue Nation,” leaving a mark before stepping away. His comment at CinemaCon, following the April 3 tribute, bridges his past contributions to the franchise’s present, as fans anticipate whether “The Final Reckoning” will include a nod to Brandt or pave the way for future teamwork.
