Mission: Impossible is back for a seventh installment with this summer's Dead Reckoning Part One, which sees franchise regular Christopher McQuarrie back in the director's chair. His last collaboration with Mission: Impossible star Tom Cruise was last year's hugely successful Top Gun: Maverick – a tough act to follow, some might say, but the only way is up for McQuarrie.
"We don’t see ourselves in competition with Bond or John Wick. We love those movies, and we admire those filmmakers, and we want to see those guys win. All we’re really doing is competing with ourselves," McQuarrie says in the new issue of Total Film magazine, which is out on newsstands on Thursday, June 22.
