Henry Cavill and Rebecca Ferguson’s Action Epic Is Officially a Top 10 Hit on Streaming

2026 has been a busy year for Henry Cavill so far after starring in two movies, but fans were only able to catch one of them on the big screen. Cavill returned to theaters back in May with the long-awaited premiere of In The Grey, the action thriller co-starring Jake Gyllenhaal and directed by Guy Ritchie. Budget information for In The Grey was never disclosed, but the film only managed to scrape together $28 million at the global box office before going on to become a massive hit on Starz. It’s a candidate to blow up on streaming when it’s added to a larger platform like Netflix. Cavill also found success on Netflix with the release of the third and likely final installment of Enola Holmes, where he plays Sherlock Holmes opposite Millie Bobby Brown.

While Henry Cavill is best known for his role as Superman in the DCEU under Zack Snyder, he’s also widely famous for some other big blockbuster roles. One of which is his role opposite Tom Cruise and Rebecca Ferguson in Mission: Impossible – Fallout, which is well-regarded by fans as one of the best movies in the entire franchise. It’s hard to believe it, but it’s been almost 10 years since Mission: Impossible – Fallout first hit theaters, and the movie was a massive hit, grossing over $800 million at the global box office against a $178 million budget. All these years later, the only way to watch the film is by purchasing a standard Paramount Plus subscription, but there’s been a renewed interest in the franchise of late, which has pushed it back into the global top 10 in several countries.

Four action series. One of them is built around exactly the way you
handle pressure, people, and a room that has just gone very quiet. Here is where you would survive
the trilogy, and probably headline it.

You are precision with a grudge. You don’t posture, you don’t
escalate, and you don’t warn anybody twice. That is exactly why the people who know you are
so careful never to be the reason you start.

• The Wick films run on discipline: an underworld with actual etiquette, a hero who
  honours every rule of it, and a world that unravels the instant someone breaks one
  against him.
• You share that quality. You are extraordinarily reasonable right up to the line, and
  then completely immovable past it.
• Focus, commitment and sheer will. You’d be the one carrying grief through three sequels
  and turning it into technique rather than noise.
• People wouldn’t call you dangerous. They’d say your name quietly and let that do the
  work.

You understand the thing the whole franchise is secretly about:
the cars are spectacular, but the crew is the point. You collect people, you keep them, and
you’d drive through a building for any one of them.

• This series went from street racing to orbit without ever changing its actual subject,
  because loyalty scales and plot doesn’t have to.
• You have the same instinct. You build a family out of whoever turns up, and then you
  defend it past the point of reason.
• You’d thrive here because the franchise rewards exactly your strengths: warmth, nerve,
  an absolute refusal to leave anyone behind, and a relaxed relationship with physics.
• The mission can wait. The barbecue cannot.

You over-prepare and then take the dangerous part yourself
anyway. It looks like control, but it’s really responsibility. You have never worked out how
to ask somebody else to carry the risk.

• This is the franchise of the plan that collapses on schedule: the team, the mask, the
  rooftop, and the one person sprinting flat out because sprinting is all that’s left.
• You share that refusal to accept an outcome. Told the odds, you treat them as an
  administrative error.
• You’d thrive here because these films reward competence and loyalty in equal measure.
  The mission matters, but nobody on the team gets left on the wrong side of a door.
• Some people delegate the cliff. You have never once been that person.

You are not the most trained person in the building, the best
equipped, or the one anybody would have picked. You are simply the one still standing at the
end, which turns out to be the only qualification that matters.

• Die Hard invented the modern action hero by making him mortal: outgunned, out-planned,
  bleeding, and extremely funny about it.
• You share that stubbornness. Adversity doesn’t make you noble, it makes you sarcastic,
  and then it makes you unstoppable.
• You’d thrive here because these films reward improvisation and nerve over preparation,
  and you’ve never had the luxury of preparing anyway.
• You didn’t want any of this. You just declined to be the person who let it happen.

Is Tom Cruise Making Another ‘Mission: Impossible’ Movie?

While not officially confirmed, all signs point to the 2025 blockbuster, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning being the last movie in the franchise. While the title certainly makes it seem obvious, most fans thought that the only way for Ethan Hunt to go out would have been in a blaze of glory, but he ultimately survives the events of the film, even if all of his confidantes didn’t. This leaves room for him to return in the future, possibly even as a mentor to another young agent, if Cruise is willing to hand off control of the franchise to a young star like Michael B. Jordan.
