Tom Cruise walks the red carpet for the Mission: Impossible 7 premiere in London
Tom Cruise and Hayley Atwell beamed on the red carpet for the Mission: Impossible 7 Dead Reckoning Part One premiere in London on Thursday.
After long delays due to the coronavirus pandemic and an unprecedented $290 million outlay, the Hollywood actor, 60, and his co-star, 41, seemed excited to celebrate the film’s launch.
The world premiere, which took place in Rome earlier this week, received rave reviews from early critics, who labeled it “dynamite” and tipped it to be a summer hit.
Hayley turned heads when she wore a very voluminous satin dress to the screening, while Tom, who first starred as Ethan Hunt in the first Mission: Impossible movie in 1996, rocked a three-piece suit.
Hayley, who plays Grace in the movie, teased a hint of cleavage in the fitted bodice of the dress before the skirt flared out at the hips.

Gizmodo and io9 writer Germain Lussier called the new film “fantastic” and said it had a “dynamite, timely story.”
‘Excellent new characters. Huge variety of action and a final set piece that ranks in the all-time top 2-3 for the franchise,” he added.
Erik Davis, of Fandango and Rotten Tomatoes, boasted that he had the “absolute best time” watching Cruise’s new movie.
He added that it was “an impeccably crafted action movie that doesn’t stop entertaining.”
“Each action sequence is long, crazy and intense. The story is big and expansive, but I love how it both felt complete and left you longing for what comes next.”

Dead Reckoning Part One is a long time coming as production was halted a number of times in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
It was shot back-to-back with its direct sequel, Dead Reckoning Part Two.
It was initially reported that the two films were the final chapters as reported by various publications including Screen Rant.
In addition to the hype surrounding a new addition to the Mission Impossible franchise, the fans and media were also intrigued by rumors that co-stars Tom and Hayley had secretly dated during filming.
But Hayley efficiently silenced the rumble as she spoke for the first time about her ‘close’ relationship with Tom in an interview in the May-June issue of Country and town house.
“I felt like if I ever worried about it I could talk to him [Tom]the newly engaged star said of the dating rumours.
“And I know he would have said, ‘People say what they want to say, but you know who you are, I know who I am, and I want you to feel safe in this environment.'”
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, which stars Cruise and Atwell, as well as Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby and Henry Czerny, hits theaters July 12.
The sequel, Dead Reckoning Part Two, will premiere in theaters on June 28, 2024.
