Yes. And I have to say, I was taken such good care of. Everyone was so supportive and they were like, \u2018Oh, you can sit down, and we\u2019ll have a stunt double do it.\u2019 And I was like, \u2018No! I\u2019ve worked too hard. Let me do it.\u2019 So I did it, and here it is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAtwell, who plays a thief named Grace who joins forces with the IMF, stars in \u201cFinal Reckoning\u201d alongside <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/t\/tom-cruise\/\" id=\"auto-tag_tom-cruise\" data-tag=\"tom-cruise\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tom Cruise<\/a>, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames, Esai Morales, Angela Bassett, Pom Klementieff, Henry Czerny, Nick Offerman and Hannah Waddingham.

Then, when I\u2019m doing it, I have a hard time. Plus the suit, when it\u2019s wet, increases in weight by about 125 pounds. So, the kind of workouts and things that I have to do just to prepare for these things, it\u2019s years of development. And yeah, and I\u2019m producing it, so it\u2019s also that kind of thing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hayley Atwell had an unseen costar during a fight scene in \u201cMission: Impossible \u2013 The Final Reckoning.\u201d During&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":129566,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3935],"tags":[77,44869,57127,3943,15763,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-129565","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-hayley-atwell","10":"tag-mission-impossible-final-reckoning","11":"tag-movies","12":"tag-tom-cruise","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114566179312185242","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129565","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129565"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129565\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/129566"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129565"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129565"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129565"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
