Tom Cruise is set to return as Ethan Hunt for the eighth movie in the action franchise later this year, which is now titled The Final Reckoning after a slight name change. The 62-year-old’s latest blockbuster outing is said to have cost around $400million to make, with the trailer showing him taking on some death-defying stunts.

Although we still have a while to go until we’re hiding behind our popcorn while watching those eye-watering moments, it seems as though one film fan got a little bit too stressed during an early screening. During an interview with Empire Magazine, via GamesRadar, director Christopher McQuarrie reportedly recalled attending the screening – where someone was left ‘suffocating’.
‘We had a small screening and someone said, “I was suffocating throughout the entire sequence. I almost had a heart attack,”’ he said. ‘And I thought, “I guess we did something right.”’. If that wasn’t enough, Christopher also teased that the upcoming flick also features ‘the most difficult thing’ that production – and Tom – have ever filmed in the entire series so far.
