Global superstar Tom Cruise returned as Ethan Hunt for Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One and created immense anticipation as always. Cruise has been a part of the franchise for over 27 years now. The latest part has come out after the restrictions posed by the Coronavirus pandemic. This is the reason his pay-cheque this time around isn’t as staggering as it usually is. Variety reported Cruise charged around $12 to $14 million for his portrayal of Ethan Hunt in the next two Mission Impossible films. A studio executive told the same portal, “I would never bet against Tom Cruise. Most actors aren’t worth what you pay them, but Cruise and maybe Dwayne Johnson justify their salaries.” And since he has come on board as the producer too, he’s likely to take home a little extra than what is being speculated.
