It really doesn’t seem that long since I saw the last Mission: Impossible film (Rogue Nation, 2015), and I praised it for its ability to utilise the tried and tested formula of its predecessors, whilst being a fresh and exhilarating entry to the franchise.

Now McQuarrie has confirmed with a tweet that that’s he returning to that he’s coming back to write and direct Mission: Impossible 6.
It would seem the Mission: Impossible franchise has decided it wants to sit halfway between a Marvel superhero movie and a James Bond flick, but considering the amount of money those films make, that’s probably not a bad decision for Paramount to have made.
A new Mission: Impossible film is due out at the end of July and until now it’s slightly be flying under the radar, but now it’s ready to announce that it’s full title will be Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation and give us a teaser trailer.
