[edit]Development
[edit]In 2020, Christopher McQuarrie and Tom Cruise discussed collaborating on a movie together with a "harder edge,"[1] that they later nicknamed The Gnarly Movie.[2] During production of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (2025) in August 2022, it was reported that the two were planning ideas for their subsequent collaborations,[3] and McQuarrie later stated that he was writing the film with his Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning (2023) co-writer Erik Jendresen.[4] As preparation for production began, the film was titled Broadsword and linked to Warner Bros. Pictures,[5] where Cruise had set up a partnership deal.[6] In July 2024, Henry Cavill and Marion Cotillard joined the cast.[7]
Filming
[edit]Principal photography is expected to begin on July 7, 2025. Shooting locations include France and London, England,[8] under the working title Appalachia.[9]
