The long-anticipated Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One held its world premiere in Rome on Monday evening with audiences finally getting to see the eagerly anticipated next film in the wildly popular Mission: Impossible franchise — and from the sound of the first reactions hitting social media, it’s well worth the wait. The film, which heads to theaters on July 12th, is being described as “phenomenal” and “exhilarating” with particular praise being offered for Hayley Atwell, who is described by several people as stealing every scene she’s in.
“For Hayley to exist in a franchise where other women had come and made statements, we said ‘well it can’t be like that.’ We don’t want Hayley to be a repeat of any character that’s come before,” director Christopher McQuarrie previously said about Atwell’s character. “What’s left? What’s unique and what’s new? We wrote a scene about what we imagined the spark of that character to be, and that’s what Hayley came in and read. What we discovered there is this energy that Hayley had, specifically an energy with Tom. It’s not a vibe, it’s literally a vibration. You felt it and you were like, ‘I don’t know what to make of this person.’”
