A franchise that has been around for over two decades is finally getting another installment that the fans have been eager for. The Mission: Impossible movie franchise has grown a lot over the years and has managed to maintain its status of being a classic thriller movie. These are the kinds of movies that fathers have dragged their wives and children to see and eventually got them hooked to it too. The most recent Mission: Impossible movie was released in 2018, and after a long wait, fans are finally getting Mission: Impossible 7 AKA Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One.
Fans were worried about the 2018 movie, Mission: Impossible – Fallout being the last one, but rumors about two more movies had been floating for a while. Once those rumors were confirmed and Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One and Two were confirmed, everyone was beyond thrilled for this epic thrilled. Tom Cruise has been an important part of this franchise and people often associate his name with the Mission: Impossible movies despite his career trajectory being filled with several other movies, that’s just how big this franchise is.

What is the Plot of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One?
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning will be divided into two parts, which will be interesting, to begin with. We are still unsure whether these two parts will be divided with a cliffhanger or whether there will be some closure after Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. The creators of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One have done a brilliant job keeping everything under wrap, which makes sense considering the fact that is an action and thriller movie, and any plot revelation might also potentially give away the plot twists that the Mission: Impossible movies heavily rely on.
However, what we do know is that the stakes are going to be higher than ever in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. Of course, there will be plenty of focus on the action scenes, but beyond that, it seems like Ethan Hunt will have to go through a lot of mental and physical turmoil, while also making some big decisions in the process. From the rumor mill, we have gathered so far that Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One is likely to end in a cliffhanger, and the first movie is an entire setup for part two, which will be the grand finale of the Dead Reckoning saga.
There will also certainly be some emotional moments in the movie, which could also be the death of a major character, and maybe that is the cliffhanger. Mission: Impossible as a franchise doesn’t hold back from putting its characters through some rough situations, it’s just a matter of how rough they are willing to get for Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One.
The Cast of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One
When a franchise has been around for this, more often than not, cast members come and go. The one person who has stuck by the Mission: Impossible franchise through thick and thin, through blockbuster hits and flops, is none other than Tom Cruise. Cruise has played the character of Ethan Hunt since the very beginning and will be reprising this role for Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One as well. Another cast member who has stuck around for all movies is Ving Rhames, who will be reprising his supporting role as Luther Stickell.
Although Simon Pegg hasn’t been around for as long as Tom Cruise or Ving Rhames, he has been a part of the Mission: Impossible franchise since 2006, and will also be reprising his role in the upcoming movie as Benji Dunn. Another cast member who has been around for the last two movies, and will appear in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, and hopefully part two is Rebecca Furguson, who will be reprising her role as Ilsa Faust.
Other than these cast members, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One will see several other actors and actresses with an ensemble cast like never before. The Mission: Impossible alumni is an impressive one, but we believe Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One might just take the cake. The other cast members who will be joining in are Hayley Atwell, Pom Klementieff, Esai Morales, Shea Whigham, Indira Varma, Vanessa Kirby, Henry Czerny, and Angela Bassett. We mean it when we say that the cast of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One will be a tough one to compete with in the future.
