Mission Impossible - Fallout: Tom Cruise matches Henry Cavill pound for pound in new trailer

The new trailer for Mission: Impossible - Fallout appears to have picked up after the events of the previous movie in the franchise where the decisions made have come to haunt Tom Cruise's spy protagonist.

The trailer begins with Solomon Lane (Sean Harris) sounding off a warning to Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise). "The end you have always feared is coming. It's coming, and the blood will be on your hands," says Solomon. 

Things seem to have gone upside down for Hunt and we see Secretary Alan Hunley (Alec Baldwin) back off when CIA officer (Angela Bassett) intervenes and sends August Walker (Henry Cavill) to take charge of the grim situation that has put 'the world at risk.'

Walker and his big guns (Really pay attention to Cavill's biceps in these shots. Massive doesn't do justice) come forth to take care of the situation. But Hunt has a different plan and he will execute it with his trusted team made of Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg), Luther Stickell (Ving Rhames), and Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson). If Hunt goes rogue, Walker will take him down. Hence begins an action-packed showdown, full of death-defying stunts that feature choppers, snow peaks, and that notorious fall from a building that broke Tom Cruise's leg.
