Rumor: Tom Cruise is looking for an unknown to play the role of young Ethan Hunt in the next two “Mission: Impossible” films

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning had the highest budget of any film in the Mission: Impossible franchise, somewhere in the region of $290 million… but box office returns declined, and the film ended up grossing $566 million worldwide. An amount less than Ghost protocol ($694 million), Rogue nation ($688 million) and Stand out ($786 million). And they all had much smaller budgets. With the next film Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoningis expected to be in cinemas on May 23, 2025the people working behind the scenes might have the idea that the franchise needs to be shaken up a bit. According to a RUMOR As The Sun informs, they will try to achieve this by bringing a younger version of Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt character into the action.

The Sun’s inside source informed her: “Tom likes to give something Mission: Impossible a new take on the next two films and would like to explore a little of Ethan’s past. They’ll be looking for a young star to take on the role and they’ll be in (Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning) and then more in the ninth film. For Tom it is very important that they get the right person. We are looking for a very fresh offspring who will cause a stir. It’s a huge role, but the hunt continues to see if they can find a young Tom Cruise. The scenes show Ethan in his early life and explore the things that happened to him before he started working as a spy. It’s something they’ve never done before Mission: Impossible and that’s why Tom thinks it could be a really interesting thing for the fans.“It’s not surprising to hear that The final reckoning will include flashbacks to Ethan’s younger days, as Dead Reckoning has already dropped hints about his backstory, but it’s surprising to hear that a young Ethan could play a larger role in the next sequel.

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning tells the second half of the story that began in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoningwith Ethan Hunt, who wants to destroy an AI system called “The Entity” housed in a sunken Russian stealth submarine.
