Tom Cruise Teases MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 6 & A Sequel To EDGE OF TOMORROW
While promoting Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, star Tom Cruise shared a few details about Mission: Impossible 6 and it sounds like we may see Ethan Hunt again sooner than later!
Back in May, it was reported that a sixth installment in the Mission: Impossible franchise was already in early development over at Paramount and while it was considered somewhat of a rumor at the time, after Tom Cruise's appearance on last night's episode of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, it sounds like the initial report wasn't unfounded at all. Cruise revealed to Stewart that the sixth film is indeed a go, and he'll "probably start shooting it next summer." If all goes according to plan, this will be the fastest turnaround between Mission films as each of the past five installments have had lengthy separations of at least four years.
In other good news, it looks like a sequel to 2014's critically acclaimed Edge Of Tomorrow may not be completely out of the picture. In a red carpet interview with MTV News at the Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation premiere, Cruise revealed promising news about a potential sequel: “I pitched it to [Chris] McQuarrie and Doug [Liman]. We were there one night and I was like, I’ve got an idea for it.” Cruise didn't expand on his exciting idea, but he did express a very strong desire to reunite with co-star Emily Blunt and it sounds like (after a small break) she would also more than likely be back as the Full Metal Bitch: “It could be so much fun... Gotta get Emily. I was like Emily, please. She was like, ’give me another year, please.'”
Also, it should be noted that Hiroshi Sakurazaka, author of All You Need Is Kill, has been hard at work on an sequel to his hit novel for the past year, so Cruise and company may not have to go too far for some extra inspiration.
However, before Cruise gets started on his next impossible mission (and/or any additional Mimic-killing action), he'll first finish shooting the upcoming 2017 drug thriller Mena with Doug Liman and will then start shooting for the Jack Reacher sequel with Edward Zwick (The Last Samurai).
Check out Cruise's full Daily Show segment below:
With the IMF disbanded, and Ethan (Tom Cruise) out in the cold, the team now faces off against a network of highly skilled special agents, the Syndicate. These highly trained operatives are hellbent on creating a new world order through an escalating series of terrorist attacks.
