Christopher McQuarrie Admits Hes Freaked Out About Directing Two More Mission: Impossible Movies
If theres a word that describes the direction that the Mission: Impossible franchise has taken in its most recent years, its escalation. Writer/director Christopher McQuarrie has been working on the franchise since his uncredited work on Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol brought him to the table, with Rogue Nation marking his directing debut in the series. And now, with Mission: Impossible Fallout driving the stakes even higher, and two more films on the franchise slate, McQuarrie is unsurprisingly freaked out about making the next two entries in the series.
With three films under his belt, and the pair known as Mission: Impossible 7 and Mission: Impossible 8 in his cart for the foreseeable future, Christopher McQuarrie talked about the way he landed himself into this proverbial mess. McQuarries summation of the situation was as follows:
I pitched the idea of making two movies, and now I have to justify why its two movies. Youve got to earn that. Youve got to make something that swallows the last three movies whole. Im freaked out now. Weve talked ourselves into something. Holy shit.
The first nugget to unpack from Christopher McQuarries comments on the next two Mission: Impossible films is the fact that hes planning something so big, it needed two films to tell. Right there, any sane director who isnt named Joe or Anthony Russo would be shaking more than a little bit, as making two back-to-back films as big in scope and budget as Mission: Impossible is a prospect.
Then comes the fact that while Mission: Impossible 7 and 8 are continuing the franchise, judging by Christopher McQuarries comments above, it sounds like these twin amazements are going to bring a new level of story continuity to the franchise. While previous history had the series operating on a "mission of the movie" strategy, the films have slowly been morphing into something akin to James Bond's continuing war with SPECTRE.
It increasingly sounds like these two films, opening just a little over a year apart from each other, are going to operate on the same sort of schedule, and some information already available would support that theory. Previous stories have reported that Mission: Impossible 7 would not only see the confirmed return of Rebecca Fergusons Ilsa Faust, but there was also a potential for the return of Henry Cavills August Walker and Alec Baldwins Alan Hunley, both of whom perished in Mission: Impossible Fallout. Coupled with the seventh film being close in release, and continuity, to Mission: Impossible 8, we can pretty much assume that the story of the IMF versus The Syndicate isnt over just yet.
Still, as McQuarrie told Empire Online, the prospect of making two more Mission: Impossible movies would be intimidating at face value. This story that Christopher McQuarrie has expanded the series lore with has grown more exciting, and more elaborate, with each passing film. If theres anything thats gotten bigger than the story these movies have to tell, its the impressive stunts and action sequences, which see Tom Cruise pushing himself into harder edged practical thrills each time out.
Perhaps the best way to sum up the supposed problem Christopher McQuarrie has with his continuation of the Mission: Impossible series is summed up in a further comment he offered in this same interview:
Heres the problem with going to the moon: how do you fall from the moon?
While we dont know how one is supposed to fall from the moon, we certainly hope Tom Cruise hasnt read that and started drawing plans for a lunar freefall in his head. That particular feat seems too impossible, but what isnt outside of the realm of possibility is the fact that Cruise and McQuarrie can definitely work out something so impressive that the next two Mission: Impossible films will be something to behold. After all, this franchise isnt Mission: Play It Safe, its Mission: Impossible.
Mission: Impossible 7 is slated for release on July 23, 2021, with Mission: Impossible 8 having an August 5, 2022 debut penciled into its schedule.

The ante has been continually upped as the Mission: Impossible franchise progressed, with Christopher McQuarrie leading that charge since his arrival as a writer on Ghost Protocol. He directed the next two movies, which have turned out to be the most successful by far. As Tom Cruise does crazier and crazier stunts, more people show up. Funny that.
