Throughout sevenMission: Impossiblemovies, Ethan Hunt has saved the world on numerous occasions.
This is why the lastMission: Impossiblemovie was originally subtitledDead Reckoning Part One.
This is quite an ominous title, and suggests thatThe Final Reckoningcould be the final movie in the series.
However, this has not been confirmed.
Cruise’s resistance suggests that he wants to make moreMission: Impossiblemovies.
While this is a lot of money, the move had an estimated budget of $291 million.

Therefore,the future of theMission: Impossiblefranchise probably depends on howThe Final Reckoningperforms at the box office.
Since Grace is now an IMF agent, she is set up nicely to replace Cruise in the franchise.
Killing Ethan would lead audiences to think thatThe Final Reckoningtruly is the last film in the series.
Therefore,it would be much smarter for Ethan to survive the events ofThe Final Reckoning.
Therefore, he deserves to have a say over the future of the franchise.
