Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Interview: Simon Pegg Says Antagonist Is a Timely Warning
Since teaming up on Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, the creative brain between writer-director Christopher McQuarrie and Tom Cruise has bolstered Ethan Hunt’s narrative and given the franchise a more authentic edge-of-your-seat quality. From scaling the world’s tallest building to now racing a motorcycle off the edge of a cliff, Cruise’s passion for wowing audiences extends to even his castmates. While discussing Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One, our own Steve Weintraub spoke with co-star Simon Pegg about what it’s like to see a longtime friend performing potentially deadly stunts with each iteration.
Dead Reckoning reunites Pegg’s Benji Dunn with Hunt on a mission against a powerful weapon that poses a threat to all of humanity, one that Pegg calls the “perfect antagonist.” The seventh entry takes the Impossible Mission Force to beautiful locations all over the world and presents Cruise with plenty of new opportunities to push his limits, as well as those around him. During his interview, which you can watch in the video or read below, Pegg opens up about the experience of watching Cruise attempt these death-defying practical stunts on each set. He gives us a breakdown of the most nerve-wracking sequences he’s personally been there for and ranks each one by how anxiety-inducing they were.
Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One also stars Hayley Atwell, Rebecca Ferguson, Pom Klementieff, Shea Whigham, and Vanessa Kirby, most of whom Pegg tells us were present for the long minutes after Cruise went off the side of the cliff. Check out the full interview below to find out what McQuarrie’s “superpower” as a filmmaker is, why Pegg believes Dead Reckoning takes on the most timely threat, and when fans will see Cruise’s most insane stunt to date.
