Tom Cruise made his Instagram debut on Thursday, but sadly, it wasn’t to share a couch-jumping meme (don’t forget to tag @Oprah when you eventually do it, Tom!). Rather, the actor flexed on the social media platform for the first time to push the sixth installment of Mission: Impossible, which, as per Cruise's post, will be titled Fallout. How apropos in these nuclear times in which we currently live. Hopefully 45 won’t launch any nukes before the film’s summer release.

Paramount says Fallout is coming to theaters on July 27, 2018.

In a second post, Hollywood’s O.G. Scientologist also shared a shot of him hanging from a helicopter—presumably a stunt performed in the film. The 55-year-old actor is known for doing his own stunts, and he actually broke his ankle in August while taking part in a stunt during filming.

As the Hollywood Reporter reported, the incident occurred in London when Cruise was jumping between two buildings and slammed into a wall. It was the fourth take of the stunt, and as director Christopher McQuarrie explained, Cruise hit the wall at a weird angle (this is why I write for a living, folks—I only have carpal tunnel and the emotional trauma of Twitter trolls to worry about). Production had gone on hiatus while Cruise recovered.

Fallout also stars Rebecca Ferguson, Henry Cavill, Angela Bassett, and America’s favorite Trump impersonator Alec Baldwin.
