Fans Want Tom Cruise To Stop Making MoreMission: ImpossibleFilms
TheMission: Impossiblefranchise is undoubtedly beloved. In each and every film, Tom Cruise has brought new and improved never-before-seen action. However, many fans think it’s better to quit while being ahead rather than turn it into a franchise likeFast and Furious.It’s clear that the racing franchise is getting milked beyond its scope and is now the subject of memes and unending criticism. As such, they think having more films to add to the franchise is a poor move.

If they believe they can top what came before, then I’m game. As long as it does not become the fast and furious franchise.

As such, it looks like fans want to save Tom Cruise’sMission: Impossiblefranchise from getting laughed out of theaters in the long run. But will the actor andChristopher McQuarrietake their feelings into account? Probably not because of how much money the films have minted at the box office till now.
As such, it looks almost inevitable that movies will be added to the action franchise. Now, whether these take the franchise to new heights or bury it in the earth, remains to be seen.
Mission: Impossiblefilms are all streaming on Paramount+.
