Speaking about her preparations for the movie and working with Tom, Hannah told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “We were in an Osprey [helicopter], we landed on a moving vessel with four and a half thousand Naval men and women on it and spent five days [aboard].
“I can’t tell you how inspired I came away by Tom and [director] Chris McQuarrie.”
Elsewhere, Hayley Atwell described Tom as “deeply inspiring”.
The 42-year-old actress – who plays Grace in the ‘Mission: Impossible’ franchise – told ‘ET Canada’: “He’s a one-man studio.
