Cruise will shoot Mission: Impossible 7 and 8 back to back with director Christopher McQuarrie, who also directed the last two entries: 2015’s Rogue Nation and 2018’s Fallout, which was the most successful film in the franchise’s history.
Before filming the two new additions to the M:I series, Cruise will return to play the role of Lt. Pete “Maverick” Mitchell in Top Gun: Maverick, set for release in 2020.
