Rumoured: Tom Cruise Quitting Mission Impossible Franchise After Dead Reckoning

Fans all around the world are obsessed with Tom Cruise's portrayal of Ethan Hunt in the Mission: Impossible film series, which continues to be very popular. According to rumours, Tom Cruise will bid adieu to the role of Ethan Hunt in the Mission: Impossible films after the seventh and eighth instalments of the series, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1 and Part 2. When asked about it in the most recent episode of the Light the Fuse podcast, director Christopher McQuarrie said a lot of the information online is false.

As fans speculate about Cruise’s exit, McQuarrie, shed light on the truth. According to the director, the rumours are entirely false. McQuarrie also revealed that in the 15 years since he has been working with Cruise, he had read several rumors about the actor that turned out to be untrue. He added that after reading about the rumours, he called the actor, saying that he read an article and the weird thing about it was that it was 100% wrong.

McQuarrie said that a lot of times the reportage is based on an “agenda” and he has learnt to ignore it. “When you read articles in the trades, just put the imaginary word in front of the headline: ‘The Agenda Is…’ When you read ‘anonymous sources’ or ‘sources close to the production say,’ that’s somebody putting it out there for a specific reason. That’s someone wanting others to think that for a specific reason, and you can never know for sure what those reasons are. You learn to ignore it and laugh at it. In today’s world, you wait 17 minutes and another news cycle will sweep it away.” The director thus urged the fans to believe such rumors as false whenever they read about them in publications.
