Simon Pegg, Pom Klementieff, and Greg Tarzan Davis are currently engaged in a promotional tour for their highly anticipated film “Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning.” They recently shared their experiences working alongside the legendary Tom Cruise, who has been a significant influence on their careers.
Klementieff expressed her admiration for Cruise, stating that he possesses incredible passion and dedication to entertaining audiences. She emphasized the importance of character and emotion in their performances, noting that it goes beyond just performing stunts. She even playfully mentioned how she enjoys asking Cruise to recreate his memorable dance from “Tropic Thunder,” to which he graciously obliges.
The trio also highlighted how accessible Cruise has been to them personally, with Klementieff and Davis both confirming that he is quick to reply to their calls and messages. Pegg reflected on his two decades of involvement with the “Mission: Impossible” franchise, calling it a fundamental part of his life and expressing his surprise at how meaningful this journey has been for him.
When asked if “The Final Reckoning” truly marks the conclusion of the series, Pegg suggested it might be challenging to continue beyond this installment since the storyline revolves around saving the world itself. Davis, however, entertained the idea of incorporating Pegg and Klementieff into the “Top Gun” universe, with Klementieff humorously asserting her willingness to learn how to fly a plane, while Davis assured her of their capabilities.
Despite their lighthearted banter, Davis implored fans to appreciate the immense effort and risks taken during the making of “Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning,” noting that the team, particularly Cruise, faced considerable challenges throughout production.
This latest installment of the franchise not only promises thrilling action but also showcases the strong collaborative spirit and camaraderie among the cast members, highlighting the dedication they bring to delivering an entertaining cinematic experience.
