Mission: Impossible — Fallout is going to have to do quite a lot to top the last two entries in the Mission: Impossible franchise. Both Ghost Protocol and Rogue Nation were high watermarks in the series. But, if the new trailer is any indication, it looks like Fallout might be a worthy successor.

Your Mission, Should You Choose to Accept It…

This sixth entry in the series will bring together IMF agents Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise), Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg), Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson), and Luther Stickell (Ving Rhames). Alec Baldwin will also be returning as Alan Hunley, the current secretary of the Impossible Mission Force.

New to the franchise are Angela Bassett as a CIA director, and a mustachioed Henry Cavill as her muscle.

As usual, the action is aplenty, including a high-speed motorcycle chase through Paris, Cruise scaling the side of a mountain, and an intense restroom fight with goons getting sent flying through mirrors and urinals. Let’s hope they flushed.

Cruise, who does many of his own stunts, broke his ankle while jumping between two buildings. The scene was left intact in the trailer and can be seen around the 2:10 mark.

Judging by all the other crazy leaps and collisions, the seemingly ageless actor is dedicated to his craft.

Mission: Impossible – Fallout hits theaters on July 27.
