Sources tell Variety that McQuarrie has signed back on to return to write and direct the next two films in the popular franchise. Sources also add that both films would be shot back-to-back — not unlike the final two "Avengers" sequels — in order to take advantage of the popularity of the series, with the first bowing summer 2021 and the second coming out in summer 2022. The release comes in 2021 to avoid conflict with Paramount and Cruise's next big venture, "Top Gun: Maverick."

Beyond perfect news, it would be like getting George Miller to film two more Mad Max films back to back.

Part of me is "yay the last 2 were fantastic" and part of me is "aaaaww I liked when every movie had a different style because of different director"

My thread should get deleted lol

And this being a back to back thing likely means transitioning out Ethan Hunt

Yes, boyeeee. Strike while the iron's hot and Tom Cruise hasn't broken every bone in his body yet.

McQuarrie is the best Mission Impossible director yet, self destruct in five seconds if u disagree

The only thing I dont like about these 2 parters is that you basically know in advance that nothing of real consequence will happen in the first and that it will end on a cliffhanger.

Oh well.

LETS GOOOO!! I'm so excited for this franchise and I'm glad he's doing this rather than a superhero movie.

I'm looking forward to the fight in space. Not many places left to go.

I'm in for more, but I have to say I enjoyed Fallout until the last act.

Ghost Protocol continues to be the best in the series.

Great news. McQuarrie has helped put MI at the top of the endless blockbuster franchise race.

I wonder if McQuarrie will use different creative teams for the two movies like he did for Rogue Nation and Fallout
