  Info in Movie News | Wednesday Addams is back at Nevermore Academy, and no, she’s not thrilled about it. With new enemies lurking, a stalker sending cryptic threats, and her name now plastered all over campus like some reluctant rockstar, Wednesday’s sophomore year is shaping up to be even stranger than the last. According to The Guardian, Season 2 opens with a flash of chaos. After saving Nevermore from the undead pilgrim Joseph Crackstone in Season 1, Wednesday has earned a cult-like following among her peers. However, the goth queen of gloom is rather unimpressed. However, the goth queen of gloom is not satisfied. “I liked it better when I was feared and hated,” she grumbles, while her peers gather around her, begging for autographs. But there’s no time for admiration, or personal space. Within minutes of the first episode, we’re introduced to a fresh villain, the Kansas City Scalper. He’s a doll-collecting, serial-killing dog groomer in a velour tracksuit played with greasy ...

Tom Cruise Brings Mission Impossible Finale to Cannes Film Festival

Tom Cruise Brings Mission Impossible Finale to Cannes Film Festival
 

Info in Movie News | Although the Cannes Film Festival is typically related to the screening of intellectual arthouse movies and Oscar-worthy dramas, in 2025, the Croisette will host one of the most significant blockbuster figures in Hollywood. Tom Cruise has been cast as one of the delegates for the premiere of "Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning" at the festival on May 14, 2025, hence marking the first screening of the project that will likely be the final film of the series.

According to People, Cruise’s presence at Cannes signals more than just a flashy promotion. It reflects how the festival, known for its reverence toward auteur cinema, is increasingly open to high-quality mainstream storytelling. Cruise, famous for doing his own death-defying stunts without CGI, embodies the kind of cinematic dedication that Cannes has always celebrated. The film, a direct continuation of Dead Reckoning, is once again directed by Christopher McQuarrie. This time, Ethan Hunt and the IMF team face Gabriel (Esai Morales) and a mysterious artificial intelligence threat with global consequences. Details are tightly guarded, but insiders promise a darker and more personal story.

Choosing Cannes for the premiere has sparked discussion. Is this a sign The Final Reckoning is aiming for more than box office success? Cruise previously received a five-minute standing ovation for Top Gun, Maverick at the same festival. His return suggests a shift in how blockbusters are viewed, not just as commercial hits, but as cinematic achievements worthy of critical recognition.

The ensemble was carried by constant franchise participants and consists of Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Vanessa Kirby, and Henry Czerny. Fresh blood that will be lighting the flame include Katy O’Brian, Tramell Tillman, and Stephen Oyoung in not yet disclosed roles. It’s the usual Mission Impossible recipe of familiar chemistry mixed with fresh energy.

After its Cannes debut, Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning is set for wide release on May 23, 2025. Its inclusion in the festival may help the film reach new audiences, including critics and cinephiles who might otherwise skip a summer blockbuster. If this is Ethan Hunt’s final mission, it’s shaping up to be his most cinematic yet.

Outside the IMF, Tom Cruise has no plans to slow down. He’s also developing a groundbreaking outer space movie with NASA and SpaceX, expected to be the first narrative film shot in actual space. On top of that, he’s reportedly reuniting with director Doug Liman for a new high-concept action thriller. With these ambitious projects lined up, Cruise is proving once again that he’s not just chasing stunts, he’s still chasing history.
