He teased Mission Impossible fans in November 2014 when he was seen hanging from the side of a plane.

But Tom Cruise slips into action man mode again in a suitably thrilling new trailer to whet the appetite for the fifth installment - entitled Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation.

A shirtless Tom, 52, displays his physical fearlessness with an impressive physique and his even more impressive athleticism as he reprises the role of Ethan Hunt.

He's back: Tom Cruise stars in the fifth installment of Mission Impossible, named Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation and a new trailer was released on Sunday

Cruise back to his best in 'Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation'

In the opening sequence Tom displays his gym-honed body as he stands chained with his arms above his head.

Introduced to new counterpart Ilsa Faust, the new lethal agent played by Rebecca Ferguson, Tom is helped to escape the clutches of an enemy and uses only his feet to hit out at the kidnappers.

In another thrilling scene, the actor is seen driving a bike off a cliff into an explosion as he speeds off on two wheels.

Making his return: Tom claims to have completed all of his action sequences himself

Mission Impossible 5, directed by Christopher McQuarrie, will see the Field Agent for secret agency Impossible Mission Force, for a fifth time.

Producers have noticeably brought the release date forward to July 31, to avoid a clash with Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

The preceding fourth installment Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol was released in December 2011 and grossed more than $700million at the box office worldwide.

Still got it: Tom proves that he's still the best action man to front the Mission Impossible franchise and performed all of his own stunts for the fifth installment of the films

Set to the backdrop of Ready Or Not by the Fujis, the trailer appears to show Hunt on a mission alongside Faust to bring down 'the syndicate.'

Hunt calls them a 'rogue nation,' which are trained to do what Hunt and Dunn do and go against the Impossible Missions Force.

And the follow up is sure to be an exciting one as Tom was straight up to heights of 5,000ft on what was to be a clear day for flying in the rural UK location.

Back in November, the Hollywood actor surpassed himself when he put himself in grave danger, hanging from the side of an Airbus A400M in a full tailored suit while the aircraft flew over the UK.

Tom, who's scaled the world's tallest building and free climbed Colorado's 2,000ft canyons for the Mission Impossible movie franchise, was once again going solo on the death-defying stunt.

Speaking recently about his passion for thrill-seeking, Tom said: 'I've often sat on airplanes, looked out and thought, 'What it would be like out there on the wing? This is the (stuff) I think about.

Behind the wheel: Tom recently said that while his stunts may be nerve wracking for others, they're exciting for him

'That's me the whole time. I was standing right over the tires when we landed. It's nerve-racking for everyone else, but pretty exciting for me.'

Tom - famous for action hero roles in movies such as Roy Miller in Knight And Day and Maverick in cult classic Top Gun - was shown the ropes by a double wearing his identical suit and an engineer wearing a boiler suit.

But the stunt pro didn't need much convincing when it came to doing it himself, in what was to be his most ambitious stunt to date.

The big reveal: Mission Impossible's fifth film has been brought forward to a July release

Ambitious: Tom took on the Airbus stunt alone, keeping production staff on edge on the ground

Daredevil: The 52-year-old has previously scaled the Burj Khalifa in Dubai for the movie's prequel Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, he described the experience as a 'learning on the job' approach

When Tom scaled the Burj Khalifa in Dubai for the movie's prequel Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, he described the experience as a 'learning on the job' approach, in conversation with Total Film.

The trailer shows comedy actor Simon Pegg back in character as Benji Dunn for a third time, acting as Hunt's right hand man.

Meanwhile, the leading lady in Ethan's life is Ilsa this time around and she proves herself early on with a James Bond-inspired bikini scene for the trailer.
