Variety is reporting that Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions are in final talks Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation writer-director Christopher McQuarrie to return to the franchise to pen the script for the sixth instalment, as well as possibly directing.
Should they reach a deal with McQuarrie, it would mark the first time in the series that a director has returned for a second outing, with previous entries directed by Brian De Palma, John Woo, J.J. Abrams and Brad Bird.
Tom Cruise – who is currently shooting another sequel in Jack Reacher: Never Go Back – is set to reprise the role of Ethan Hunt for Mission: Impossible 6, while there’s also on Rogue Nation star Rebecca Ferguson to return.
