Following a report that Tom Cruise, star of the Mission: Impossible film franchise, allegedly wanted Glen Powell to take over as its lead, the Twisters star denied the rumor. Calling Powell to congratulate him live during The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday, ESPN host Pat McAfee read aloud a headline sourced on X from @TheInsneider: “Tom Cruise reportedly wants Glen Powell to replace him and lead the 'MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE' franchise in potential future installments.” Powell refuted the claim, saying: “My mom would never let me do that.” Referencing the dangerous stunts that Cruise has pulled off for seven action-packed movies, he laughed, adding, “That’s a death trap.”
