"Here we are at number five almost 20 years later, it's really a dream come true. This movie has a tremendous amount of action of course, but also intrigue and mission twists," Cruise teased the audience, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The cast members brought along two new clips from the upcoming film, which hits theaters on July 31. While the clips rolled, those in attendance got to witness some of the stunts performed by the action star.
"All of what you're about to see, he did it, he really did it," Pegg told the audience.
"As always, I will do everything I can to entertain an audience and put as many people into your theaters," Cruise told the crowd, then admitted that the stunt where he holds onto the side of an airplane as it takes off, featured in the trailer, scared him ... well, a lot!
He explained that he had no protection on under his clothes and that he was only attached to the plane by a single rope while wearing protective lenses for his eyes.
