Variety: Christopher McQuarrie Closes Deal to Direct Back-to-Back ‘Mission: Impossible’ Films
- Thread starter ManaByte
- Start date
Off topic but the actor who plays him would be my pick for the next Wolverine or Magneto
2020: Top Gun
2021: MI 7
2022: MI8
Cruise Missile coming in hot!
Goddamn they totally can do a Fast Five and get back all those random characters from past MI films to make a super team.
Thandie Newton from 2.
Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Maggie Q, Laurence Fishburne from 3.
Paula Patton from 4.
Add them with Ferguson, Renner, Pegg and Rhames and you have a super spy team.

one of the best things about this series is its consistent willingness to beat the shit out of tom cruise for the sake of pacing and intensity even though you know things will be fine by the end.
this is great because it means they can do that for an entire movie and more!
Hell Yes! The director changing each movie was unique and I like the spin they each brought, but Mi5 and Mi6 were excellent films, and I like that there is no a constant thread between the films. All that jumping and team switches were getting a tiny bit tiresome. Now bring back Renner since he is likely finished with the Avengers you cowards. Best part of 4.
Fallout is fucking sick. I really recommend everyone check out the crazy-long Empire podcasts he did after the movie came out. They really get into the details of making huge films in a way I've never really seen before.
He also said at the end of it that he was done making MI films, lol

Watch them end part 1 with failing to stop the bad guys and part 2 is picking up the pieces after that.
Give Rebecca Ferguson and Paula Patton their own spinoff movies and make sure they do nothing but take down bad guys with wrestling moves.
Wow couldn't be more fantastic news. It feels like even though the movies have been great, they're just now getting more attention so I'm glad they'll get the chance to really pop off with a back to back showing.
On one hand, OMG YES PLEASE. On the other hand, I kinda feel bad that McQuarrie proved that he was an action blockbuster mastermind with one MI film and now his career is stuck on that 4 films in a row. Would love to see him direct stuff outside of the Cruise bubble to expand his range even more.
That was the entire arc of Fallout though. In one film. Why do that again? I'll much rather see one film being a build up of a real serious threat in the background - watching them plan it and for it to come together piece by piece while there is another situation being dealt with, and as they successfully complete one mission, the other thing comes to the surface and everything just escalates more into a cliffhanger. Imagine two films of building escalation.
McQuarrie is gonna be tied down to the Cruisetrain for life it seems.
Nothing of consequence ever happens in these movies anyway.

Because they didnt technically lose in Fallout. Sure, they lost the plutonium, but imagine if they ended Fallout with nukes going off and the sequel was picking up the pieces from that.
When hitting the peak just means crossing a very low bar than it does not count imo.
Fast and the Furious is a trash franchise with zero redeeming qualities compared to MI.
And just like that McQuarrie went from the first ever director to helm two Mission: Impossible movies to the guy who directed half the series.
Speaks to his talent that he's been able to completely change how production of the M: I go. The series was famous for always having a different director to allow each film to feel and look different, now literally half of them will have been done by McQuarrie. How things change and change fast.

I'd rather they just do two seperate unrelated missions, with Cruise receiving the next one at the end of M: I 7 in a clever self destructing message.
They often end these films with a life goes on, there's always another mission, but here we could actually get the next mission
I miss when different directors worked on these. Oh well. Still want to see McQuarrie work on something that didn't involve Cruise.
Tom Cruise is also a producer on these films and the main draw. The only way they would be introducing/setting up a future lead for the series is if that's what Tom Cruise desires (highly unlikely). He's going to be making action movies into his 70s.
By the time MI:8 is out he'll be 60, his body is not going to hold up for MI:9 when he's 62 or 63. He'll clearly still be in the movies but maybe as a mentor figure, someone like Jon Voight in the first film.
remember when mission impossible 4 and 5 had brandt, once again begging the question, 'jeremy renner?'
I was so bored of the last one that I walked out. Didn't help that I had only seen a couple of others and had no idea who some of the characters were
