As we wait for production to wrap, Empire Magazine has released a new photo of Tom Cruise in the middle of a dangerous stunt shot in New Zealand.

We also hear from director Chris McQuarrie...

“On this one, there was the constant search for The Stunt,” (..) “But once I’d let go of it as an obligation, and stopped obsessing about it, another one came. And another one. And another one.”

Empire of course does not forget Henry's moustache... as it should be.

The film not only brings back Rebecca Ferguson’s Ilsa Faust but introduces August Walker, played by Henry Cavill and Henry Cavill’s Moustache, in a plot which sees Ethan Hunt attempting to prevent nuclear armageddon.

'Mission: Impossible Fallout' Filming In Abu Dhabi

I want to assure you vocal M5 enthusiasts, no BMWs were destroyed in the making of this film. (that’s not to say they didn’t take a few lumps...) #BuffRightOut

Many media outlets jumped the gun, when Mission: Impossible Fallout director Chris McQuarrie mentioned the word "wrap" in this post from London last month. They claimed filming was finished, when he clearly said more work was on the way. Now Tom Cruise has confirmed that the cast and crew are in the United Arab Emirates.

Thank you to everyone in Abu Dhabi for the amazing help and cooperation. Our filming here continues to be a wonderful experience.

On Monday some of you asked us where Henry was going, since he seemed to be on a plane in his back from the dead post... it now sounds like he may be joining the M:I Fallout production in Abu Dhabi!

UPDATE (3/7): New BTS by director Chris McQuarrie.

Remember, kids. We are professionals. Don’t try this at home...
