Tom Cruise Praises Michael B. Jordan as ‘Enormously Talented’: ‘I Really Respect Him’ (Exclusive)

Cruise, Simon Pegg, Hayley Atwell and the rest of Mission: Impossible‘s cast hope to see similar success with the eighth installment in Cruise’s own action franchise.
On Sunday’s red carpet, Cruise reflected on his many years starring in the hit action-movie franchise — and said that if he had to do it all over again, he wouldn’t change a thing.
“I did the best you can, and it’s representing all the efforts of everyone involved at that particular moment,” he says.
“I looked at it and I really see what it takes to make these movies and what I’ve learned about storytelling [in] this particular genre,” Cruise adds.
Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning hits theaters May 23. For more on the franchise, including exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes photos, PEOPLE’s special edition is out now.
