Tom Cruise and his Mission: Impossible castmates made sure to turn heads on the red carpet at the premiere of The Final Reckoning during Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday.
The Hollywood actor, 62, was joined by his co-stars as they posed for a huge group selfie on the iconic red steps.
The movie’s director Christopher McQuarrie commemorated the huge moment as the film debuted at Cannes by pulling out his phone for a photo.
He was beaming as Greg Tarzan Davis, Angela Bassett, Tramell Tillman, Tom, Hannah Waddingham, Tom’s long-time co-star and movie sidekick Simon Pegg, Pom Klementieff, and Esai Morales all leaned in for the iconic snap.
Tom could barely wipe the smile from his face as he grabbed onto his castmates for the photo, while Simon, who is reprising his role as Benji Dunn opened his mouth in joy as he grinned for the picture.
The star-studded group then all leaned in to get a good look at the picture before it no doubt will hit social media.

The selfie theme continued as Christopher carried his phone around the glitzy event, with Simon sticking his tongue out for a second cheeky picture.
He made sure to get more snapshots along the way with British actress Hannah, 50, looking elated as she threw up a peace sign.
Tom’s much-anticipated eighth and final instalment of Mission: Impossible is one of the earlier premieres on this year’s Cannes calendar.
The film, which has faced multiple delays, is finally due to hit cinemas on May 23 2025.
The movie’s leading lady Hayley has reprised her role as Grace, a former thief turned IMF agent and ally to Tom’s Ethan Hunt.
Hayley looked radiant and glowing in a massive ruffled red gown as she joined the main man on the glittering red carpet.
She and Tom seemed to be on cloud nine as they posed for snaps together at the star-studded screening.
One sweet moment saw Tom lean over to whisper something into Hayley’s ear before she burst into laughter.
She also stopped for a second to excitedly flaunt her incredible dress as Tom, 62, watched on.

Hannah, whose cameo in the new movie was only revealed in a recent trailer release, embodied Hollywood glamour in a strapless pale pink gown.
While Pom risked breaking the new and very strict dress code as she arrived in a very revealing semi-sheer gown amid the ban of risqué ensembles.
Tom arrived solo in Cannes and is yet to be joined by his new girlfriend Ana de Armas, 37, despite multiple outings together in recent months.
This year’s Cannes Film Festival is taking place in the wake of Trump´s vow to enact tariffs on international films.
Cannes, where filmmakers, sales agents and journalists gather from around the world, is the Olympics of the big screen, with its own golden prize, the Palme d´Or, to give out at the end.
Filmmakers come from nearly every corner of the globe to showcase their films while dealmakers work through the night to sell finished films or packaged productions to various territories.
‘You release a film into that Colosseum-like situation,’ says Brazilian director Kleber Mendonça Filho, who´s returning to Cannes with ‘The Secret Agent, a thriller set during Brazil´s dictatorship.
‘You´ve got to really prepare for the whole experience because it´s quite intense – not very far from the feeling of approaching a roller coaster as you go up the steps at the Palais.’
Trump sent shock waves through Hollywood and the international film community when he announced on May 4 that all movies “produced in Foreign Lands” will face 100% tariffs.
The film, which has faced multiple delays, is finally due to hit cinemas on May 23 2025

The White House has said no final decisions have been made. Options being explored include federal incentives for U.S.-based productions, rather than tariffs. But the announcement was a reminder of how international tensions can destabilize even the oldest cultural institutions.
The Cannes Film Festival originally emerged in the World War II years, when the rise of fascism in Italy led to the founding of an alternative to the then-government controlled Venice Film Festival.
In the time since, Cannes´ resolute commitment to cinema has made it a beacon to filmmakers. Countless directors have come to make their name.
This year is no different, though some of the first-time filmmakers at Cannes are already particularly well-known. Kristen Stewart (The Chronology of Water), Scarlett Johansson (Eleanor the Great) and Harris Dickinson (Urchin) will all be unveiling their feature directorial debuts in Cannes´ Un Certain Regard sidebar section.
Many Cannes veterans are back, too, including Tom, Robert De Niro – who´s to receive an honorary Palme d´Or 49 years after Taxi Driver premiered in Cannes – and Quentin Tarantino, to pay tribute to low-budget Western director George Sherman.
Meanwhile Scarlett’s directorial debut Eleanor The Great, will be unveiled on May 20.
However, in the wake of his legal battle with former co-star Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni is not expected to attend.
Over recent years the star-studded extravaganza has arguably won more attention for the outfits worn by its celebrity guests than the roster of feature films being screened on the Croisette.
But new nudity rules, devised for ‘the sake of decency,’ have been implemented at this year’s festival.

According to organisers, the austere move is an attempt to stifle the celebrity trend for ‘naked dresses’ – namely provocative outfits that reveal considerably more than they conceal – on the red carpet.
‘For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as any other area of the festival,’ states a Cannes festival document.
‘The festival welcoming teams will be obligated to prohibit red carpet access to anyone not respecting these rules.’
The surprise new policy features in a recent festival-goers charter – released with a series of outlines regarding expected public behaviour.
Guests are expected to converge on the Grand Auditorium Louis Lumière for some of the highest profile film screenings across a packed two-week schedule in Cannes.
It’s understood that the iconic venue now adopts a more conservative dress code, with suits, dinner jackets and floor-length evening gowns generally favoured over headline grabbing ensembles.
Classic little black dresses, cocktail dresses, pant-suits, dressy tops and elegant sandals, ‘with or without a heel’, will also be permitted.
While the decision to implement a more stringent policy will be a first, it is not known if French TV broadcasters, wary of airing nudity, played a role in its enforcement.

Recently attracting more models and influencers than actors and filmmakers, the annual ceremony has seen an increase in risque red carpet fashion statements.
In 2021, American supermodel Bella Hadid bared her cleavage in a plunging black gown while attending a screening of Tre Piani (Three Floors).
She pulled a similar stunt three years later, with guests at the 2024 gala left speechless after she attended the premiere of Donald Trump biopic The Apprentice completely braless beneath a sheer brown evening dress.
