Contrary to previous reports, director Christopher McQuarrie now confirms that Mission: Impossible 8 won’t serve as the end of the hit franchise.
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two director Christopher McQuarrie confirms that the upcoming sequel won't serve as the end of the franchise and teases what's to come. After first playing the character back in 1996, Cruise is set to return as superspy Ethan Hunt for at least two more films, starting with Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One next month.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT As the Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two release date inches closer, McQuarrie reveals to Fandango, as shared in a new tweet, that the eighth film will not serve as the ending to the franchise. Check out the tweet below: In addition to confirming that the upcoming two films won't be the conclusion that many were expected, the director even teases that there are already ideas being floated for the next installment.Will Mission: Impossible 8 Be The End For Tom Cruise's Ethan? What McQuarrie doesn't confirm, interestingly, is whether Cruise's lead character will return for any films beyond Mission: Impossible 8.
It might actually be the for the best, in fact, if Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two is Cruise's last movie as the star. The actor is nearly 61 years old and, considering Mission: Impossible 8 filming hasn't even been completed yet, any subsequent installments would see the actor playing the character into his mid-60s or beyond.
Even if Hunt no longer appears in the Mission: Impossible franchise, Cruise could still remain onboard as an executive producer, ensuring that the films retain the jaw-dropping action that the franchise is known for, just with a new central star. Rebecca Ferguson's Ilsa, for example, could take Ethan's place.
