The Mission Impossible franchise has been a Hollywood staple for over two decades, delighting audiences with its action-packed storylines and charismatic performances from its lead actor, Tom Cruise. With the upcoming release of Mission Impossible 7, many fans are wondering whether this will be the last installment in the franchise.
The short answer is no; Mission Impossible 7 is not the last one. In fact, plans for an eighth installment are already in motion, with filming scheduled to begin later in 2022. This news was confirmed by Tom Cruise himself, who stated in a recent interview that they are “working on Mission Impossible 8 now.”
The decision to continue the franchise after Mission Impossible 7 is not surprising, given its success at the box office. The franchise has grossed over $3.5 billion worldwide, making it one of the most profitable movie franchises of all time. Additionally, Tom Cruise has stated that he loves playing the character of Ethan Hunt and has no plans to stop anytime soon.
However, there are some changes in store for the franchise. Christopher McQuarrie, who directed Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation and Mission Impossible: Fallout, will be directing both Mission Impossible 7 and 8, making him the first director to helm more than two films in the franchise. Additionally, the cast of Mission Impossible 7 will feature some new faces, including Hayley Atwell and Pom Klementieff, alongside returning cast members like Simon Pegg and Ving Rhames.
The plot of Mission Impossible 7 is still under wraps, but we know that it will pick up where Mission Impossible: Fallout left off, with Ethan Hunt and his team facing off against a new threat. The film is set to feature some of the most daring stunts yet, with Tom Cruise performing many of his own stunts, including a dangerous motorcycle chase through the streets of Rome.
In conclusion, while Mission Impossible 7 is not the last film in the franchise, fans can expect more thrilling adventures with Ethan Hunt and his team in the future. With Christopher McQuarrie at the helm and a talented cast, Mission Impossible 7 promises to deliver the heart-pumping action and excitement that fans have come to love from the franchise.
