The marketing campaign for Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning has begun, and it heavily hints toward Tom Cruise’s franchise ending with the eighth installment. Despite the franchise’s upward trajectory and incredible overall quality with the recent films, debates about when the Mission: Impossible franchise could end have raged for years. That became an even bigger conversation when Mission: Impossible 7 & 8 were announced as back-to-back productions with a two-part narrative, with reports suggesting that Tom Cruise’s days of playing Ethan Hunt could be limited. That positioned Mission: Impossible 8 as the final installment potentially.
