Cut Mission: Impossible Scene Hints at Future!

by

The tale of Ethan Hunt might carry on in another installment of Mission: Impossible, hinted by a sneak peek at the end of the credits in Mission: Impossible – Fallout. It seems like most films these days include a post-credits scene as a way to hint at future events, even if those events aren’t realized for several years. Sometimes, these scenes serve as jokes or breaks from the story, such as in movies like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, where the character directly addresses the audience and tells them to go home, implying that the movie has finally ended.

Occasionally, you may anticipate an additional scene after the credits roll, but it doesn’t always happen. For instance, this didn’t occur in movies like Final Destination: Bloodlines and Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. It’s not entirely unexpected that The Final Reckoning doesn’t have a post-credits scene, given that it was marketed as the final Mission: Impossible film. However, there seems to have been a plan to include an extra scene or hint at something more after the end credits of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning‘s Post-Credit Scene Was Cut by Tom Cruise

As a passionate film aficionado, I was thrilled to learn that Christopher McQuarrie, the mastermind behind Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, had plans for a post-credit scene. Yet, during the creative process, McQuarrie shared the movie’s concluding moments with Tom Cruise, just as they would appear in the final cut. Cruise was so enamored with the ending that they never even filmed the post-credit sequence they had initially planned.

As a movie enthusiast, I approached Tom and shared, “Typically, I’d ask you to watch the entire film before showing this, but we’re set to shoot an ending in a few days. Just take a peek at this snippet,” McQuarrie explained. He replied, “Go ahead and cancel Saturday’s work because this is the final scene of the movie. This is it.

McQuarrie failed to disclose what would have been in an unfilmed scene, hinting that it could appear in another Mission: Impossible film someday. This potential post-credits sequence might have shown Ethan Hunt unwinding on a beach or setting up a future mission teaser. Regardless of its content, McQuarrie’s reluctance to reveal it to avoid spoiling a future Mission: Impossible movie adds intrigue. It’s worth noting that Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning doesn’t have to be the final installment. There’s room for more movies, but whether we’ll see another one is uncertain. It appears that Cruise might want to work on other films temporarily before possibly revisiting Mission, but even if he never returns, it could still make a satisfying conclusion to the series.

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” is breaking box office records for the series, achieving the highest domestic opening weekend ever, which underscores a strong appetite for the franchise. To date, the film has grossed over $200 million worldwide, with further earnings expected in the US due to an extended weekend. It appears that, even after 30 years, viewers aren’t quite ready to part ways with Ethan Hunt.
