At a high-profile press conference in Seoul, Tom Cruise faced a barrage of questions not only about his upcoming film Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, but also on the political tensions affecting Hollywood, including recent remarks from former U.S. President Donald Trump suggesting new tariffs on foreign box office profits. Cruise, known for his media-savvy persona, handled the moment with characteristic diplomacy.
When asked for his stance on the tariffs and their impact on international film markets, Cruise simply smiled and replied, “We’d rather answer questions about the movie.” He then enthusiastically pivoted to discuss the complex stunts and the global scope of the Mission: Impossible franchise’s final chapter, highlighting the commitment of the cast and crew.

Cruise’s deflection has been interpreted by some as a strategic move to avoid alienating any part of the global audience. The film, which features sequences shot in several countries including South Korea, aims for a major international release and a massive global box office turnout.
Industry insiders note that Cruise’s diplomatic response helps maintain the franchise’s image amid increasing geopolitical scrutiny of Hollywood’s global earnings.
