Director Christopher McQuarrie blew us all away with MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – ROGUE NATION. It was style, substance and kick-ass stunts. His hotly anticipated follow-up, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – FALLOUT, looks equally as “lit.”

Take a peek:

How nice of everyone to co-star with Henry Cavill’s mustache.

Here’s the official synopsis:

The best intentions often come back to haunt you. MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – FALLOUT finds Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his IMF team (Alec Baldwin, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames) along with some familiar allies (Rebecca Ferguson, Michelle Monaghan) in a race against time after a mission gone wrong.

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – FALLOUT opens on July 27.
