It was earlier in an interview that McQuarrie revealed that he hopes to do something different and had been meeting on a handful of projects including Paramount’s “Without Remorse” starring Michael B. Jordan as John Clark.
The last “Mission: Impossible” film did a whopping business, grossing over $790 million worldwide, noted to be the best haul in the franchise to date.
Seems like the studio knows pretty well that they couldn’t let a good thing die and has quickly moved to bring back McQuarrie to write and direct the next two installments.
As being reported McQuarrie will be starting to write the script. Meanwhile, Cruise continues to shoot “Top Gun: Maverick.”
No start date has been set yet for the new films to kick off, but according to the sources, shoot might start sometime in 2019.
