Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, the eighth installment in the action franchise, stars Tom Cruise, Hayley Atwell, and Simon Pegg. The film had its world premiere in Tokyo earlier this month and screened at Cannes ahead of its global theatrical release on May 23, 2025. Kim Go Eun’s presence at the event surprised fans, as she is not part of the movie’s cast.
The actress has been busy with multiple projects. She recently confirmed her return for Yumi’s Cells Season 3, set to release in 2026. Her latest films, Exhuma and Love in the Big City, were both critical and commercial successes. At Cannes, she smiled for photographers and interacted briefly before heading inside for the screening.
Tom Cruise, the face of the Mission: Impossible series, has not confirmed if this will be the final film. Early reactions from viewers have been positive, praising the action sequences and performances. The movie’s budget reportedly reached $400 million, making it one of the most expensive films ever made.
Kim Go Eun’s appearance at Cannes highlights her growing global influence. While Korean films were notably absent from this year’s main competition, her red-carpet moment kept fans excited. Her upcoming projects include The Price of Confession and You and Everything Else, both set to release later this year.
Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning continues the story of Ethan Hunt (Cruise) as he battles a rogue AI threat. The film also features Angela Bassett and Ving Rhames. Its Cannes screening was followed by a nearly five-minute standing ovation.
Kim Go Eun’s fashion choice at Cannes has already sparked discussions online. Fans praised her bold yet elegant look, comparing it to her previous red-carpet appearances. The actress has become a style icon in South Korea, often making headlines for her fashion statements.
The Cannes Film Festival runs until May 24, 2025, with more star-studded premieres expected. Kim Go Eun’s unexpected appearance adds to the festival’s buzz, proving her status as one of Korea’s most beloved actresses.
