🎬 Trailer Review: Ghost Protocol (2025) – The Shadow War Begins
Starring Tom Cruise, Scarlett Johansson, Henry Czerny, and Rami Malek
Directed by Christopher McQuarrie

“This mission isn’t classified. It’s erased.”

The official trailer for Ghost Protocol (2025) has landed — and it detonates like a time-bomb in the spy genre. Reimagining the Ghost Protocol title in a new cinematic universe (separate from Mission: Impossible), this film pairs Tom Cruise and Scarlett Johansson as two of the deadliest covert operatives ever put on screen — now forced to go rogue in a game where truth itself is weaponized.

Tom Cruise plays Jonathan Voss, a former intelligence tactician turned ghost agent — a man erased from all records, living off-grid after exposing a failed black-ops coverup. When whispers of a digital weapon known as “Protocol Zero” surface — an AI-driven kill-switch capable of dismantling global defense systems — he’s dragged back into the field. But he’s not alone.

Scarlett Johansson stuns as Celia Raye, a master manipulator and field assassin with ties to Voss’s past — and possibly his future. Is she friend? Foe? Or the one person who knows how to stop the war before it begins? Their chemistry burns through every frame — sharp, charged, unpredictable.

The trailer is packed with jaw-dropping sequences: a zero-gravity extraction in a sinking satellite base, a neon-soaked rooftop chase in Seoul, and a final showdown inside a collapsing data fortress beneath the Arctic. Cruise performs signature practical stunts — including leaping from a high-speed train onto a drone in flight — while Johansson brings cold-blooded precision and emotional complexity to every shot fired.

Rami Malek appears briefly but hauntingly as the enigmatic hacker-pacifist who created Protocol Zero — and may now regret it. Henry Czerny, returning as a grizzled CIA director, adds tension and old-school authority to a modern cyber-espionage thriller.

Final Verdict:
Ghost Protocol (2025) looks like the ultimate spy showdown of the decade — a fusion of tech paranoia, raw human instinct, and cinematic spectacle. With Cruise and Johansson at the top of their game, this trailer isn’t just a teaser — it’s a warning:
Ghosts don’t follow rules. They rewrite them.
