Writer/director Christopher McQuarrie has some interesting ideas for how to keep moving the Mission: Impossible franchise forwards.
Essentially, it seems that McQuarrie is interested in rounding out the individual characters of the Mission: Impossible franchise, which, as McQuarrie points out, mostly serve to react to Tom Cruise’s stunt-prone Ethan Hunt.
McQuarrie, who helmed both Mission: Impossible – Fallout as well as 2015’s Rogue Nation installment, held a Q&A after an IMAX screening of Fallout where he addressed the possibility of spin-offs.
So much of what defines Mission is the fact that Tom Cruise is doing all of these crazy things,” McQuarrie told the crowd.
