Paramount Pictures has released a series of character posters for the highly anticipated sequelMission: Impossible – Fallout. The follow-up looks to build upon the story told inRogue Nation, withSean Harris’ villain returning and forcingTom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt to reconsider his past, and whether the deeds he carried out for his government were really good deeds at all. There’s more to it than that, of course, but really at this point all I need to know is it’s a newMission: Impossiblemovie with Tom Cruise and I’m in. The fact thatRogue Nationwriter/directorChristopher McQuarrieis back at the helm is gravy on top, as is this positively stellar cast.
Indeed, I’d go so far as to sayMission: Impossibleis the best franchise running right now. When it comes to ratio of good-to-great movies vs. bad movies,Missiononly has one bad egg in the bunch (Mission: Impossible 2), while the last two films in particular have been positively spectacular. There are other franchises with arguably higher high points, but also lower lows.Missionis reliably compelling, exciting, and character-driven, and you can always count on these films to stand out when it comes to practical stuntwork.
These character posters reveal the large ensemble forFallout, which not only addsHenry Cavill,Angela Basset, andVanessa Kirbyto the series, but brings backRogue NationfavoriteRebecca FergusonalongsideSimon Pegg,Ving Rhames, andAlec Baldwin. Give this movie to me now.

Here’s the official synopsis forMission: Impossible – Fallout:
The best intentions often come back to haunt you. MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – FALLOUT finds Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his IMF team (Alec Baldwin, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames) along with some familiar allies (Rebecca Ferguson, Michelle Monaghan) in a race against time after a mission gone wrong. Henry Cavill, Angela Bassett, and Vanessa Kirby also join the dynamic cast with filmmaker Christopher McQuarrie returning to the helm.
