Mission Impossible Part Five: The Next Mission

Episode Summary

We usually discuss what we would recommend for a series to do next. In the case of Mission: Impossible, this subject is a bit moot. There are currently two more Missions being filmed under the guiding light of Christopher McQuarrie as both writer and director again and Tom Cruise producing. It seems to be in good hands. So let’s switch this one up to be a little different – at one point, Cruise was thinking of handing the series off to another character and retiring Ethan, so let’s take that scenario – Cruise is looking to leave Hunt behind (maybe up for a cameo, but not necessary for our purposes) AND McQuarrie is also retiring from the series, so… 1. How do you phase out Ethan but continue the series? 2. What director and/or writer would we WANT to see direct an installment of the series and why?
