Then he’ll head to Dallas to visit more theaters. 

"We’re going to fly to Dallas, where I’m going to get some delicious barbecue before going to more theaters to say hello. And I can’t wait. We’ll see you at the movies," he said.

What we don't know:

The actor didn’t give any specific information about which restaurants or theaters he’ll be visiting in Dallas.

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning

"Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning" is the eighth installment in the franchise starring now 62-year-old Cruise as Agent Ethan Hunt. It could also be the last, as the title suggests.

The plot is said to pick up directly after the cliffhanger from 2023’s "Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning."

It opens in theaters on May 23, but there are plenty of early screening options available in North Texas.
