So, is “The Final Reckoning” really the last “Mission: Impossible” movie for Tom Cruise ‘s Ethan Hunt? Cruise has teased that this is seemingly the send-off for his IMF agent, and there aren’t any confirmed plans for more sequels in the series. Does Ethan escape from his battle with the AI Entity unscathed, or does he meet a grim fate?

The Final Reckoning is billed and marketed as the last film in Cruise's long-running Mission: Impossible series, but the reality is very different. So, how likely is a sequel? Directed by Christopher McQuarrie and starring Cruise alongside Hayley Atwell,

Things definitely get dicey in The Final Reckoning, but by the end of the movie, Ethan has survived and the Entity is safely contained in a "5D optical data drive". (We don't fully understand either, but basically, it can't hurt anybody again.)
