Tom Cruise is animated as he joins his stylish Mission: Impossible co-star Rebecca Ferguson at Rogue Nation event in China

Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation has amassed a staggering $500million worldwide since its initial release five weeks ago.

But Tom Cruise, 53, his co-star Rebecca Ferguson, 31, and the film's director Christopher McQuarrie, 47, were still on the promo trail in China on Sunday, ahead of the movie's release there on Tuesday.

They've been plugging Rogue Nation for weeks on end but all three were animated and full of smiles when they attended a photo call at the Shanghai Film Centre.

Tom, who plays senior field operations agent Ethan Hunt in the Mission Impossible movies, dressed from head to toe in black, pairing a casual sweater with smart suit trousers and smart shiny shoes.

He appeared to be on fine form as he answered press questions, which were translated by a man sitting behind.

Rebecca, who plays female lead Ilsa Faust in the movie, looked chic in a white Antonio Berardi shirt, black skinny jeans and pointy nude stilettos.

The Swedish actress wore her glossy auburn tresses in a sleek ponytail which she brought around to her front over one shoulder.

The co-stars posed with their arms around each other as they flashed their Hollywood smiles and were later joined by McQuarrie, who was looking super smart in a grey suit and white shirt.

Their latest promo push comes as Rogue Nation crossed the $500 million (£328 million) mark at the worldwide box office at the weekend.

As of Monday, the fifth Mission: Impossible film is Tom Cruise's fourth-biggest global blockbuster, behind Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol, Mission: Impossible II, and War Of The Worlds.

The movie costs $150m to produce and with a likely big boom in China it's likely that Ethan Hunt's fifth adventure will become Cruise's biggest global hit of all time.

Cruise recently confirmed that a Mission: Impossible 6 is in the works when he appeared on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

The action star remarked: 'We're starting to work on it now. We'll probably start shooting it next summer.'

The other Mission: Impossible films were released in 1996, 2000, 2006 and 2011 and so far the franchise is said to have grossed a combined $2 billion at the worldwide box office.

Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, which also stars Alec Baldwin, Simon Pegg and Jeremy Renner is in US and UK cinemas now.
