Glen Powell on Rumors He’ll Replace Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible
Glen Powell isn’t running to replace Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible.
The 36-year-old actor shut down rumors that he would be stepping up (and maybe jumping off buildings) if Tom ever hands over the reins of the iconic action role.
“My mom would never let me do that,” Glen joked to sports analyst Pat McAfee on Nov. 12. “That’s a death trap.”
Tom, 62, has starred as Ethan Hunt—the government operative known for his death-defying stunts—since the franchise premiered in 1996. On Nov. 12, the teaser trailer dropped for Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning, which picks up where 2023’s Dead Reckoning left off. While the trailer didn’t give much away, it does confirm that the eighth, and rumored final film of the franchise, sees Tom once again doing an impressive range of stunts.
It’s a commitment Tom brings to a role that Glen has seen first-hand when they played opposite each other in Top Gun: Maverick. Following the film’s release, the internet and Hollywood couldn’t get enough of their bromance.
