Dead Reckoning Kills Every Mission: Impossible 8 Returning Character Theory

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1 directly sets up the events of Mission: Impossible 8, and it debunks every theory about what characters will return in the process. Ethan Hunt and the IMF’s mission to defeat Gabriel and The Entity was not entirely resolved by the time Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning‘s ending wrapped up. Ethan being in possession of The Key gives him a leg up on his new villains, but it has come at the cost of Ilsa Faust’s death and other allies no longer being by his side. All this helps set up what should happen in Mission: Impossible 8, but one specific moment has massive implications.
