Mission: Impossible reveals first look at Severance star in new Final Reckoning trailer

The new Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning trailer features spectacular stunts, multiple throwbacks to previous films, and a first look at the character Severance star Tramell Tillman is playing in the movie.

Tom Cruise once again takes center stage in Mission: Impossible 8, with the superstar performing stunts both under water and in the sky.

The trailer features the impressive M:I ensemble that has built up over decades, including Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Henry Czerny, Hayley Atwell, Pom Klementieff, Shea Wigham, Angela Bassett, and Vanessa Kirby.

But there are also multiple new actors joining the Mission: Impossible cast for this Final Reckoning, including a breakout star from Severance.

Tramell Tillman questions Tom Cruise in new Mission: Impossible trailer

Tramell Tillman was announced as a member of the Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning cast a year ago, and though we don’t know who the Severance star is playing, we’ve now seen and heard him in the latest footage.

One minute into the new trailer, the man who found fame as Mr. Milchick in Severance gets up close and personal with Ethan Hunt, asking, “What exactly is your plan?”

Tillman said he got the role because M:I writer-director Christopher McQuarrie is a fan of Severance, and the actor told PIX11 News that he’s “a wonderful director. He’s a teaching director. He really gives a hands-on approach to the actors… and Tom Cruise is such a delight. He’s infectious. His energy is palpable on step.”

Tillman isn’t the only new member of the ensemble either, with Katy O’Brian, Nick Offerman, and Hannah Waddingham all joining the franchise.

The Final Reckoning still hasn’t revealed film’s most dangerous stunt

Mission: Impossible – The Finale Reckoning will feature wall-to-wall action, but according to a film writer knowledge of the movie, audiences ain’t seen nothing yet.

Posting on Twitter/X, journalist Chris Hewitt wrote: “If you read my Empire cover story on this film, you’ll recall that there’s a stunt Cruise does in this that is so insanely dangerous that I yelped when I saw it. That stunt is not in this trailer. They’re saving it for the movie. I have to be there to hear the collective gasp.”

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is released on May 21, 2025. Until then, these are more movies to get excited about in 2025, while for adrenaline-fuelled cinema, here’s our list of the best action movies of all-time, and the best spy movies ever.
