Mission Impossible: Who do you think could carry the franchise after Cruise?


Cruise is not getting any younger and at one point there was some talk of Jeremy Reener possibly taking over the lead role but that didn't pan out. The series has been going strong for years now so who do you see asa viable candidate to take over Cruise in the future?

Brie Larson - just kidding :)

Renner is not a box office magnet.

I agree

He was made Bourne successor, but turned out not very succesful so they came back to Matt Damon. Renner just lacks charisma.

I don't think anyone could replace Tom Cruise today. He's legendary. Maybe just reboot the whole Mission Impossible franchise and remove the character Ethan Hunt altogether.

Simon Pegg - just kidding.

Actually, if they casted Nick Frost as well we could have a hell of a spy parody

They already nailed zombies, alien invasions and slashers 'perfeckly'

Zendaya

how?

reply

Just kidding. Hollywood seems to be trying to make her the next big thing.

reply

ah yeah they are really trying with her. don’t see it honestly

How about Chris Hemsworth?

reply

I like the guy but he seems pretty huge to be a stealthy secret agent

reply

I think Kevin Hart is the only one pipsqueaky enough to truly take the mantle.

This post goes against my "Tom Cruise is one of a kind and you'll all miss him when he's gone" post from a few weeks ago. The man is irreplaceable.

Retire the series. How many of these movies do we need?
