Impossible - The Final Reckoning, and here's what he's said about his future with the franchise after the eighth installment's conclusive title. Cruise has spent nearly 30 years playing IMF agent Ethan Hunt in Paramount's franchise.

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning could be Tom Cruise's final outing as Ethan Hunt, though director Christopher McQuarrie is tight-lipped on the possibility for now. "It is, I hope, the satisfying conclusion to a 30-year story arc," he told Empire magazine. "I'm pretty confident that people are going to feel that the title was appropriate."

Hayley Atwell has offered her thoughts on the future of action franchise Mission: Impossible, ahead of the release of the eighth installment, The Final Reckoning, this year. Atwell stars opposite Cruise in the forthcoming film as Grace, a former thief turned IMF agent and ally to his character, Ethan Hunt.
