MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 6 May Already Be In Early Development

Even though Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation doesn't hit theaters until July 31st, Paramount must really like what they've seen so far as M:I6 is already in early development.

Considering the high-octane action sequel Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, which stars superstar Tom Cruise (Edge Of Tomorrow) alongside an ensemble cast that includes Jeremy Renner (Avengers: Age Of Ultron), Simon Pegg (Star Trek), Ving Rhames (Mission: Impossible), Rebecca Ferguson (Hercules), and Alec Baldwin (The Departed), hasn't even opened yet, this new report may be a tad premature, but according to The Tracking Board, Paramount may already be in the early stages of developing Mission: Impossible 6, which is expected to round out the new trilogy that started with Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol.

Cruise, J.J. Abrams, David Ellison, and Dana Goldberg are all back on as producers for the sixth film with Don Granger and Matt Grimm serving as executive producers and Elizabeth Raposo overseeing development. It's too early to say which cast members will be back, but the report claims that the full ensemble is expected to return, which also reopens the door for Paula Patton (2 Guns) and Maggie Q (Nikita) to appear in the future installment as well.

Ethan and team take on their most impossible mission yet, eradicating the Syndicate – an International rogue organization as highly skilled as they are, committed to destroying the IMF.

Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation will feature:
Director: Christopher McQuarrie
Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt
Jeremy Renner as William Brandt
Simon Pegg as Benji Dunn
Ving Rhames as Luther Stickell
Rebecca Ferguson in an undisclosed role
Alec Baldwin as the Head of the CIA
Sean Harris in an undisclosed role
Simon McBurney in an undisclosed role
Zhang Jingchu in an undisclosed role
Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation lights the fuse July 31

I'll watch Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation first before I get excited. Awesome news though!

DAMMIT YEAH [frick]

Awesome!! Can't freakin wait for Rogue Nation

NoAssemblyReqd - 5/23/2015, 9:23 AM

Already? I guess Scientologists got to pay for auditing somehow.

THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 5/23/2015, 9:41 AM

Back to long haired Cruise again.

Nightwing2513 - 5/23/2015, 9:46 AM

I hope this doesn't drag on too long. Love the movies but Tom Cruise is getting older. And if it takes another 5-6 years to make this one, then yikes!

NoAssemblyReqd - 5/23/2015, 9:58 AM

I thought the new trilogy started with M:I3. Seriously, you can pretty much discard 1 and 2 as false starts.

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLL

BlackIceJoe - 5/23/2015, 10:05 AM

Well congrats to Tom. He's been doing lots of cool movies over the last few years. It would be great if he could get Emily Blunt to be a part of this next one. Seeing him team up with his Edge of Tomorrow co star again, would be fun.

NoAssemblyReqd - 5/23/2015, 10:10 AM

I run hot and cold on Tom Cruise lately. His movies are often great, but it's tough to watch him on screen knowing he has basically been under the influence of the religious equivalent of Loki's scepter since 1990.

MisterHolmes - 5/23/2015, 10:14 AM

@NoAssemblyReqd
You're telling me, you watch that documentary on Scientology. that shit is crazy

mattattack - 5/23/2015, 10:19 AM

I loved Mi:3 and Ghost Protocol so if Rogue is on par then I am very down!

NoAssemblyReqd - 5/23/2015, 10:21 AM

@MisterHolmes Yup, read the book too. What once just seemed funny and goofy to me turned absolutely terrifying.

MisterHolmes - 5/23/2015, 10:32 AM

@NoAssemblyReqd
ill pick it up. Years ago i read the premise of Scientology. i literally laughed for hours. then i got older and realized how big the following is, and its scary as hell. what they do is coo coo

grif - 5/23/2015, 10:40 AM

whatever. i just 5 to kill the f4 remake.

Muky9volt - 5/23/2015, 10:43 AM

Looks super sic!! Love the Mi movies except the second .. super poopy movie.

DallasAvenger - 5/23/2015, 10:46 AM

I love spy movies so the more the merrier as far as I'm concerned.

MisterHolmes - 5/23/2015, 10:52 AM

That's crazy! MI:6 already in mind haha, I did enjoy Ghost Protocol. Shame i didn't catch the last one on IMAX. This one is a must this time around!

AztecaAguilar04 - 5/23/2015, 11:58 AM

@MisterHolmes Lol Religion in general is also crazy! No wonder the world is so damn divided still till this day!
