The new film is the seventh in the "Mission: Impossible" franchise and has Cruise, 61, reprising his role as agent Ethan Hunt with the Impossible Missions Force.

Cruise was in South Florida in May to attend the Formula One Miami Grand Prix.

Two iconic movie franchises have collided. On Sunday, Tom Cruise met Vin Diesel and Ludacris at the Formula One Miami Grand Prix and the actors even posed for a photo together. In the snap, the “Mission Impossible” star wraps his arms around the “Fast & Furious” co-stars as they smile and Diesell even gave the camera a thumbs up.
