Mission: Impossible 7 Will Explore Ethan Hunt’s Past Before The IMF, Reveals Director

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One will explore Ethan Hunt’s past. As the first half of the franchise’s expected two-part finale, Dead Reckoning Part One brings Tom Cruise’s IMF agent Ethan Hunt back to save the world once again. This time, he will be threatened by a ghost from his past – the movie’s primary antagonist played by Esai Morales. Over the course of six films since 1996, the Mission: Impossible franchise has yet to explore any substantial part of Ethan’s past, though that is set to change in the upcoming installment.
