Tom Cruise has made a surprise appearance at CinemaCon in Las Vegas to promote the fifth instalment in his Mission: Impossible series.
The actor said the film, titled Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation, features action, intrigue and twists.
He premiered two new clips from the film, which is set to open July 31.
The clips featured an impossible escape, martial arts fighting and a comedic car chase.
Joined on stage by co-stars Rebecca Ferguson and Simon Pegg, Tom spoke of the stunts in the film.
“Here we are at number five almost 20 years later, it’s really a dream come true,” Cruise said. “This movie has a tremendous amount of action of course, but also intrigue and mission twists,” The Hollywood Reporter quoted him as saying.
“As always, I will do everything I can to entertain an audience and put as many people into your theatres,” he said.
Showing footage of him holding on to the outside of an aeroplane as it took off, he admitted: “I was scared shitless,”
Pegg told the audience: “All of what you’re about to see, he did it, he really did it.”
The sequel, directed by Oscar winner Christopher McQuarrie, once again stars Cruise as Impossible Missions Force agent Ethan Hunt.
New cast members include Alec Baldwin and Sean Harris.
Arnold Schwarzenegger was also at CinemaCon, to promote Terminator: Genisys.
