Hayley Atwell to get back into the spy business for Mission: Impossible

It’s only been a little more than a year since Tom Cruise last took on an impossible mission in Fallout, but the magical bullshit of Scientology isn’t going to implicitly endorse itself, so Cruise and director Christopher McQuarrie are already setting the stage for the first of their next two death-defying Mission: Impossible movies—which, as we previously reported, are coming in 2021 and 2022. We didn’t know anything about these sequels at the time, beyond the safe assumption that they will feature Tom Cruise risking his life by performing ridiculous stunts that are definitely more ridiculous than the last movie (which, as a refresher, involved Cruise jumping across a rooftop and destroying his ankle in real life and holding on to a big bag of some sort as a helicopter lifted it into the air), but now we do know literally one additional thing: Hayley Atwell will also be there, either as some new ally, a terrorist mastermind, or someone who pretends to be a new ally but is actually a terrorist mastermind. (Come on, nobody actually believed that Henry Cavill’s character was a good guy, right?)
