The Mission Impossible series is going strong, and the next film, Rogue Nation, is taking things to the next level…again. Along with the TV spot trailer below. Apparently, Tom Cruise has done some radical training to do a special underwater sequence…without oxygen!

“It’s something I have always wanted to do,” said Cruise of his latest death-defying stunt. “Christopher McQuarrie and I have been thinking about it since working on ‘Edge of Tomorrow.’ I have done a lot of underwater sequences. But we wanted to create a suspense underwater sequence without cuts. So doing that sequence was really interesting. We’re underwater and we’re doing breath-holds of 6 to 6 1/2 minutes. So I was doing all my training with the other stuff (on-set). It was very taxing stuff.”

TV series, and working on Guardians for a very long time!
