Tom Cruise has revealed plans to return as Ethan Hunt for a sixth “Mission: Impossible,” asserting that shooting could start as early as a year from now.
Cruise made the announcement on Tuesday night’s “The Daily Show,” where he was promoting this week’s launch of “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation.”
The previous films in the franchise have all been separated by at least four years.
Christopher McQuarrie is directing from a screenplay he wrote with Drew Pearce. Cruise told Jon Stewart, “We’re starting to work on it now. We’ll probably start shooting it next summer.”
