Big news. In recent months it sounded as if McQuarrie was likely coming back for M:I7 at some point, but I don't think anyone saw him doing TWO more, back-to-back sequels, especially this soon (after already writing/directing the past two M:I movies, released in 2015 and 2018, respectively). He must have a hell of an idea for what I'm guessing *might* be Cruise's final two appearances in the role, set for summer 2021 and summer 2022. All I know is that Fallout was one of the best action movies of all time, and I can't wait to see how McQuarrie follows it up, and what he does with this kind of unique, two-part format. Paramount is no doubt going to let him swing for the fences with this one (as if he didn't the last go-around)...
