Another 'Mission: Impossible' Sequel Is Already In Development

Though 'Rogue Nation' hasn't even been released yet, the franchise's success is predictable enough to warrant further sequels.

Tom Cruise's willingness to dangle from large airplanes might suggest otherwise, but the Mission: Impossible film series is just one year shy of turning 20. Though the fifth installment in the lucrative franchise (Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation) hasn't even landed in theaters yet, Tracking Board is reporting that a sixth Impossible is already in development.

Paramount, Bad Robot, and Skydance Productions are reportedly "in motion" on a sixth installment — with Cruise, J.J. Abrams, David Ellison, and Dana Goldberg returning as producers. No casting information is available, though we can probably expect further expanding of the Mission: Impossible universe beyond simply Ethan Hunt and company.

Of course, Bad Robot — in addition to reaping Cruise receipts in July with Rogue Nation — are already enjoying quite the year ahead of the release of Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens.
