Following the large critical and commercial success of the past two installments, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation and Mission: Impossible – Fallout, writer/director Christopher McQuarrie signed a new deal with Paramount to return to write and direct the next two installments, turning down other studio offers to continue his long-running partnership with franchise star Tom Cruise, who is slated to return for the future installments.
It sounds like Simon Pegg has chosen to accept yet another impossible mission – Mission: Impossible 7, that is.
Around minute eleven he says, “I have another Mission: Impossible to start next year,” before branching off into another subject.
This is great news as Pegg’s character, Benji, has been a welcome addition to the franchise since his first appearance in J.J. Abrams’ Mission: Impossible III.
