Ethan Hunt will go down as one of the most recognisable and iconic characters in the history of filmmaking, and the character played by Tom Cruise is now deeper etched into the world of films after the release of Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning. While the movie has received lacklustre reviews from critics, fans loved seeing Cruise perform gut-wrenching stunts and run across the frame. On Tuesday, the actor decided to give back some of the love and posted a thank you message on his Instagram.

He then shifted his focus to the studios behind the film and thanked them for their support. 'To everyone that works at Paramount Pictures and Skydance, thank you for your many years of friendship and unwavering support. And most of all, THANK YOU to audiences everywhere – for whom we all serve and for whom we all love to entertain. Sincerely, Tom.'
Fans reacted to the post and hailed Tom Cruise as the 'best to ever do it'. A user commented, 'You're a class act. Thank you for being one of the greatest entertainers of our time.' The official page for Regal Theatres commented, 'Another mission in the books – thanks, Tom, for continuing to make theatres a part of the story.'
Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning was definitely one of the biggest movies of Cruise's career, if not the biggest. He himself described it as a culmination of the last 30 years of Mission Impossible. His co-stars, such as Simon Pegg, Hayley Atwell and Henry Cavill, have often talked about Cruise's dedication on the set and how much of himself he puts into the movies.
