What’s Next for Ethan Hunt and the Franchise?
Mission: Impossible 8 features returning stars Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Vanessa Kirby, Hayley Atwell, Shea Whigham, Pom Klementieff and Henry Czerny, all of whom are back from the previous film.
The stacked cast will also be augmented by new faces, including Bob Odenkirk, Parks & Recreation star Nick Offerman, Ted Lasso’s Hannah Waddingham, Ozark actress Janet McTeer and Katy O’Brian.
Dead Reckoning and The Final Reckoning were at one point billed as the last films to star Tom in the Mission: Impossible series.
However, director Chris McQuarrie backed away from that idea during the publicity campaign for the first film, and Cruise has since expressed interest in continuing to explore what.
Ethan Hunt’s adventures might be like well into old age—perhaps with the support of chronic illness prevention strategies, health screenings, and long-term disability insurance.
