In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE for the new installment of 'Mission: Impossible,' Angela Bassett reveals that her twins, Bronwyn and Slater Vance, were impressed with her Met Gala appearance.

Angela Bassett addresses how Erika Sloane went from the CIA to being the President of the United States in Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning. Bassett's character was a major player in 2018's Mission: Impossible - Fallout as a former director of the CIA.

Stars have been everywhere this week. At Cannes Film Festival in France, Tom Cruise shows love on the red carpet, and Angela Bassett sports a shiny purse. Also at Cannes, Leonardo DiCaprio keeps it low-key in shades, and Eva Longoria stuns in sequins.

“ Tom Cruise has done it again!” That’s the very early verdict from press screenings for the Hollywood icon’s latest film, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, with the film variously described as “astonishing,” “jaw-dropping,” “insane” and the “action movie of the summer.”
