Not to mention that McQuarrie feels like the type of guy who would put a premium on such loyalty.
Ultimately, no matter what we think of Christopher McQuarrie taking the reins on Bond 25, there’s a good chance that this rumor won’t pan out at all.
With Mission: Impossible – Fallout persuading not only Paramount, but also Tom Cruise, that McQuarrie is the guy to make Mission: Impossible 7 into the capper for his trilogy, those are two hard forces to say no to.
Unless MGM, Annapurna and Eon Productions make him an offer so lofty he’d be a fool to reject it, this could be one of those rumors that fades into the smoke – a fleeting fancy of what people would like to see, rather than what’s actually in the works.
