  In June 2023, McQuarrie told Fandango that Dead Reckoning and The Final Reckoning would not necessarily end the series, and they were developing ideas for future installments. In July 2023, during promotion for Dead Reckoning, Cruise expressed interest in reprising his role as Hunt in future films, citing Harrison Ford 's portrayal of Indiana Jones over 40 years. On November 12, 2024, Jeff Sneider reported Cruise sought to cast Glen Powell, his co-star in Top Gun: Maverick (2022), to replace him as the new lead for potential future Mission Impossible films. Powell denied this during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show. In May 2025, during the New York premiere for The Final Reckoning, Cruise confirmed that the film would be his final film (playing Ethan Hunt) in the series, stating "The film is the final! It's not called 'final' for nothing."
