Then again, Tom Cruise has been playing Ethan Hunt for over 20 years now, so if the actor hangs onto the role for another two decades, maybe by that point whoever’s helming the franchise can accompany the actor on board a ship, shoot a couple scenes of a geriatric Ethan punching bad guys inside of a space station, and then safely head back to the ground.
From there, the only place left to go is to pit Ethan against aliens!
As fun as it would be to see Ethan Hunt fighting weightless, I doubt that a future Mission: Impossible movie will actually be able to send actors and cameras out into space, and would instead rely on traditional movie-making magic and effects as is the norm.
