He beforehand refused to take part in Fallout as a result of they deliberate on killing his character, so he’s clearly enthusiastic about having the ability to come again.
He isn’t introduced as a member of the Ultimate Reckoning solid, however you by no means know, cameos occur on a regular basis. He says he misses each Cruise and McQuarrie, so perhaps it is a signal for them to work on one thing collectively, even when it’s outdoors the world of the IMF. Personally, I believe they need to get the band again collectively and make some film magic once more.
You possibly can see Tom Cruise in Christopher McQuarrie’s Mission: Unimaginable – The Ultimate Reckoning in theaters on Could 23, 2025. It’s also possible to revisit earlier Mission movies, together with Rogue Nation, by streaming them now with a Paramount+ subscription. In the meantime, I will be hoping a brand new mission comes up for these two and Renner that they select to simply accept.
