Tom Cruise Spotted in Leaked Footage On Set of New Mission: Impossible

We already know Mission Impossible 8 adds a Severance actor to the cast . Now Tom Cruise has been spotted in leaked footage from the set.

The video, which was posted to Twitter by an onlooker, sees Cruise navigating a heaving crowd of extras in a location said to be standing in for London’s Trafalgar Square.

In it, he meets Simon Pegg’s character Benny and embraces him before blending back into the crowd.

Behind them are police officers wielding heavy duty weapons. It looks like the film will include some some of march or protest, although for now it's up to interpretation. Watch the footage below.

And it’s not the only footage that’s leaked from the Mission: Impossible set. The tweet below sees Cruise wondering alone through a throng of angry protestors.

Director Christopher McQuarrie then appears halfway through and says something to Cruise. Cruise returns to his mark and does the scene again. Watch that below.

Following on from Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning , the film will continue Cruise’s hunt for Gabriel, a terrorist working with an all-powerful AI system called the Entity to rule the world.

Maybe that’s why everyone in the footage above is so upset.
