His return to the franchise marks the first time a director has helmed more than one Mission: Impossible film.
Mission: Impossible 6 has today added a new CIA director that will be played by Angela Bassett.
Still without an official title, Paramount Pictures and Skydance‘s sixth Mission: Impossible film will see the return of Tom Cruise, Rebecca Ferguson, Simon Pegg, Sean Harris and Alec Baldwin.
The Mission: Impossible franchise launched in 1966 with the original CBS television series, which ran for seven seasons and 171 episodes.
