The other two photographs are from Michelle Yeoh-starrer 2022 multiverse saga “Everything Everywhere All At Once” and the third one is from Tom Cruise-starrer 2011 “Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol”. It shows Cruise’s Ethan Hunt climbing Dubai’s Burj Khalifa.

“At last!! After a 100 year wait !!! Ecstatic for the new Oscars stunt design category for the films releasing in 2027! Huge thanks to David Leitch, Chris O’Hara, and the stunt community for making this historic recognition possible, and to @TheAcademy, CEO Bill Kramer, and President Janet Yang for honoring the power of stunt work,” Rajamouli wrote.
