This is why ,no matter what you read to the contrary, lead actors are seldom permitted to do really risky stunts.

Sounds like we could be getting the first trailer on January 26

wow exciting. I hope Rebecca F has a meaty role.

Rogue Nation turned out amazing despite its OG release date being pushed up to a nightmarish degree. 5 months cut off of post production. It's incredible how the opera sequence turned out to be one of the best espionage sequences of the new millennium on such a pressured schedule. McQuarrie now has plenty of flexibility with the schedule. This sequel is gonna be something special. My most anticipated action blockbuster of the summer right now.

I'm worried about competition. August is full of potential hits

Since this series is clearly shaping up to be the American version of Bond, who would be an acceptable replacement of Cruise for Hunt? Cruise is inevitably going to have to take a backseat to the role, and solely stick to producing duties with this beloved action franchise. Who can seriously replace Cruise's magnetism? It's gonna be tough, but I don't see how Cruise/studios avoid it.

You don't replace Cruise as Hunt. You bring in a whole new Character all together to lead the the team on impossible missions as who ever you replace Cruise with would never fill his shoes in terms of stunts.

I see Cruise leading one more movie at the end of which he takes over as the head of the IMF. They also introduce the new actor/actress/team who will take over in that movie and they carry the series forward.

 

I hear Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart are available.

I like the cut of your jib, sir.

 

Until you mentioned Lautner and Stewart. Paramount et al. has better sense than to cast those milquetoast actors lacking the magnetic charisma of Cruise. Unlike the snooty Brits, I don't think we're opposed to casting an international star in the lead role of the hot shot IMF agent. We'll branch beyond our oceanic borders to find the best talent possible for this massive action franchise. Shady accent and all.

Yes, but does Renner want to take the mantle? Does he? I'd accept with open arms.

America has tried to come up with a Bond equivalent, since the mid 60's, and has never quite succeeded.

And Cruise won't be doing many of the really dangerous stunts after what  happened with this film..if he ever did.

I know this won't change you worship of Cruise, but if you think stunt people were not used for Cruise in the MI films, you are being very naïve.

 

But I agree Paramount should consider kicking Cruise upstarts to head IMF,and have a new leading male agent. I think Ferugson will be fine as the  leading female agent.

There's literally video of him doing all those dangerous stunts you're alluding to, and there is video of him doing them after the injury so I'm not sure why you even try to pretend otherwise.

Not true at all, Domestically speaking Mission Impossible  is equally as popular as bond. Not as constant I guess but Bourne too is just as big domestically. 

 

in 1995 GoldenEye made 106m domestic and 352m WW

 

1996 Mission impossible made 180m domestic and 457m WW

 

1997 and 1999 bonds movies did 125m domestic and 330 and 360m WW

 

2000 Mission Impossible 2 made 215m domestic and 546m WW

 

 Today - Domestically Bond 200m - MI5 195m 

 

 

Domestic numbers only for Bourne

 

2002  Bourne Identity 121m   

2002  Die Another Day 160m

 

2004 Bounre Supremacy 176m

2006 Casino Royale  167m

 

2007 Bourne Ultimatum  227m 

2008 Quantum of Solace  168m

If Bond can't get him, then I am all for a Mission: Impossible adventure with Idris Elba. Better yet, every movie should have Idris Elba.

I wonder when the first trailer will hit, I assume it'll debut with Black Panther at the earliest. Maybe even The Maze Runner.

[MovieMan89]

Assuming Disney doesn't actually come to their senses and move Solo to August, I can see this doing really well and maybe finally beating MI2 unadjusted. Has one of the best release dates of the summer given how it's avoiding the May/June clusterfuck and coming off of one of the weakest July slates I've ever seen, heading into a very questionable and iffy August slate.

Thats a early promotion from Cruise!! 7 months away from release

We might get 2 updates/surprises:

1. MI6 Teaser
