Your support makes all the difference.The not-so-impossible has happened: Tom Cruise has agreed to a deal for M:I 6 following heated salary disputes.
Cruise was set to return as Ethan Hunt for the sixth instalment of the popular Mission: Impossible franchise when pre-production ground to a halt due to a dispute between the actor and Paramount.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, negotiations have ended and the film's preproduction is being resumed with filming expecting to take place next Spring, a few months later than planned.
Paramount declined to comment.
Christopher McQuarrie will return to write and direct following the success of fifth instalment Rogue Nation and will be the first to steer more than one M:I film; Brian De Palma directed the first of the franchise with cruise returning in the John Woo-directed sequel. A third arrived in 2003 under the guide of The Force Awakens' JJ Abrams while Ghost Protocol was steered by Brad Bird (The Incredibles).
Rogue Nation, released in 2015, co-starred Rebecca Ferguson who'll next be seen in The Girl on the Train alongside Emily Blunt and Justin Theroux.
