“Running in #MissionImpossible movies since 1996. #GlobalRunningDay,” he wrote in the caption. He also posted a clip from the film to his Instagram story.
Both profiles were also updated to feature the line “Running in movies since 1981,” in reference to the year he worked on the Endless Love and Taps films.
Tom Cruise returns to his role as Ethan Hunt in the upcoming seventh installment of the Mission: Impossible movie franchise, the first since 2018. In the movie, Ethan and his team are assigned to locate “a terrifying new weapon that threatens all of humanity before it falls into the wrong hands,” according to the film’s official synopsis.
The film features “a deadly race around the globe.” The synopsis adds: “Confronted by a mysterious, all-powerful enemy, Ethan is forced to consider that nothing can matter more than his mission – not even the lives of those he cares about most.”
