The teaser trailer for the dramatically titled Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One had briefly leaked online over the weekend prior but has now been officially released by Paramount Pictures.

The seventh instalment in the smash-hit blockbuster franchise will see Top Gun: Maverick star Cruise reprise his role as heroic Impossible Missions Force (IMF) agent Ethan Hunt to take on a dangerous new threat.

The new footage shows Hunt in various action scenes across the globe, revealing desert locations, scenes in Venice and Hunt driving a motorcycle over the edge of a clifftop.

Joining Cruise in the sequel are returning series regulars Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg and Rebecca Ferguson, reprising their roles as Hunt's allies Luther Stickell, Benji Dunn and Ilsa Faust, respectively.

Also returning is The Crown star Vanessa Kirby as black-market arms dealer Alanna Mitsopolis aka The White Widow, with actor Frederick Schmidt alongside her as the character's brother Zola.

In a more surprising comeback, Henry Czerny is reprising his role as former IMF director Eugene Kittridge from the first Mission: Impossible film.

In the trailer, Kittridge says to Hunt: "You're fighting to save an ideal that doesn't exist. It never did. You need to pick a side."

In addition to the returning characters, fans can also expect to see new faces in the form of Hayley Atwell as mysterious new character Grace, Esai Morales as the film's new villain, and Shea Whigham as Jasper Briggs.
