Mission Impossible 8: Did you like it in 7? This character will return in the sequel

Warning – The article below contains spoilers for “Mission: Impossible – Dead Report” as it specifically discusses its ending. Please continue if you haven’t seen it yet.

Is this a sign that filming will start again? When the writers’ strike began, only 40% of Mission: Impossible 8 had been canned. And Christopher McQuarrie explained that big action scenes weren’t part of it.

The cast then joined the movement, and it lasted long enough for the release, originally scheduled for June 26, 2024, to be pushed back to May 21, 2025. In the slot that brought fortune to Top Gun: Maverick, the only film. Tom Cruise has crossed the billion dollar mark worldwide.

Now that the strike is over, filming is resuming and Simon Pegg has given us a great insight into what’s in store. Confirming the return of a character from the previous episode.

(“It’s hard to kill! If you think you’re going to finish Paris… think again.”)

Paris, introduced in Dead Reckoning as an assassin allied with the big bad Gabriel (Esay Morales), must therefore return under the guise of Pom Klementieff. Which is not really surprising. Stabbed by his former boss, he was still alive at the end of the featurette and helped Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and Grace (Hayley Atwell) escape.

Therefore, its return is logical. And good news for audiences enthralled by his mad killer character and the fact that the actor’s fun playing the role was evident on screen. It wouldn’t be surprising to see him switch sides, allowing him to form a colorful duo with Simon Pegg after promoting Dead Reckoning with him on social media.
