Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning director Christopher McQuarrie has explained the movie's final moments and reveals why Tom Cruise made the call to scrap a planned post-credits scene

Actor Rolf Saxon tells IndieWire about the wild ride to stealing the show, then and now: "Twenty-nine years ago, I have two lines in one of the biggest films of the year. Twenty-nine years later, they put me in the film.

While the film has an air of finality about it, both with the title and the fact that it brings the franchise full circle with various references and callbacks, the fact that Ethan Hunt survives means the door is potentially always open for more impossible missions.
