Tom Cruise looked buff in a tight black top on Tuesday as he landed at London Heliport in Battersea to continue filming Mission: Impossible 8.

IMF agent Ethan Hunt, 61, looked stylish in a black pair of sunglasses as he attempted to protect his hair from the winds at London’s only licensed heliport.

Tom kept warm in a black beanie, which he pulled down over his ears, and wore slim-fitting dark blue jeans.

He finished his outfit with a box-fresh pair of white Nike trainers and smiled as he headed out of the heliport.

Feeling warm, Tom opted to carry his navy blue padded jacket in one hand and sauntered past an ambulance.

The Top Gun star risked tripping over his black backpack which he held low and by just one of its arms.

Tom was last seen filming in April when he shut down roads just a stone’s throw from Downing Street. 

Dramatic scenes signalled trouble for the Impossible Missions Force agent Ethan Hunt as the actor was seen kneeling on the road in surrender.

The filming of the UK scenes of the eighth installment of the Mission Impossible franchise initially took place between March and December 2022.

Production restarted soon after, but was suspended in July due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strikes.

Filming resumed in March 2024, but came to another halt in May, allegedly due to a faulty gimbal (a camera tool). It has since restarted again.

Mission Impossible 8 was originally meant to be filmed back-to-back with Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, which raked in over half a billion at box office.

If not for the strikes, MI:8 would have been with fans by the end of summer: its scheduled release date is now May 23, 2025.

As well as Tom, the eighth Mission Impossible film will see the return of Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames, Hayley Atwell, Pom Klementieff, and Vanessa Kirby

It is hoped that Tom will not have to resort to desperately begging studio bosses to extend the film’s run this time around

When the seventh film hit cinemas, the actor was concerned about Oppenheimer overshadowing the film, as it required the same limited screens

He was proved right as Oppenheimer achieved almost $400 million more than Mission: Impossible at box office

At the heliport on Tuesday, Tom warmly greeted a member of the Edmiston Battersea Heliport fire crew

They firmly shook hands and the worker, dressed in a neon yellow high-visibility vest, appeared star struck 

He moved his headphones into a funny position off of his ears so he was free to chat with the star 

Tom appeared to have landed at the heliport with just the pilot for company in a small white plane

The relentless nice guy pointed with a huge grin and the next happy victim of his warm greeting before finally leaving the heliport
