Tom Cruise isn’t slowing down after what’s widely expected to be his farewell to the Mission: Impossible franchise. The action superstar is teaming up once again with bestie Christopher McQuarrie for a World War II epic titled Broadsword. According to Production Bulletin, filming is set to begin in July 2025, just two months after Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning hits theatres on May 23, 2025.

The movie is going to be the 9th collaboration between the pair, who have it down pat when it comes to carefully curating a crowdpleasing smash hit these days, having already worked together on Mission: Impossible – Fallout, Top Gun: Maverick (on which McQuarrie served as a writer), and Edge of Tomorrow.

Set during the height of World War II, Broadsword follows the harrowing journey of a battle-hardened Marine sergeant who crashes in France, becoming the sole survivor of an S.O.E. operation. Stranded with no help of rescue behind enemy lines, he ends up befriending and forming an unlikely alliance with a young girl, and together the pair must navigate treacherous terrain, outwit relentless pursuers, and reunite with his team in a desperate bid to accomplish their mission. The World War II setting recalls Cruise’s previous foray into war dramas with Valkyrie, where he portrayed Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg in a plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler. This time, Cruise is diving deeper into the chaos of the battlefield, rather than overseeing it from a distance.
