At the New York City premiere of the latest installment of the “Mission: Impossible” franchise, “Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning,” co-star Hayley Atwell revealed the most exhausting part of the shoot. Atwell, who plays Grace, a pickpocket and thief, described a scene involving a “train carriage” stunt that required her and co-star Tom Cruise to sprint up an incline and reach a bar before being suspended over a ravine.
Atwell told ET’s Nischelle Turner that the sequence was so physically demanding that she eventually got adrenal fatigue. She also praised Cruise for his work ethic and technical understanding of filmmaking, saying that he was “very attentive” and knew what she needed when she was “slumped in a corner” looking tired.
Atwell also spoke to CBS Mornings about her experience working with Cruise, who plays protagonist Ethan Hunt and performs his own stunts in the series. She described him as “gracious and polite to everyone” and said it was a “masterclass” in work ethic.
The seventh installment of the “Mission: Impossible” franchise is sure to be action-packed, with Cruise and Atwell performing breathtaking stunts together. The film is set to be released in theaters on July 23.
