Mission: Impossible director Christopher McQuarrie has explained why Dead Reckoning is split into two parts – and it goes back to the series’ fifth instalment in 2015.
"That takes us all the way back to Rogue Nation where we discovered an emotional component to the story that we really weren’t expecting. Stuff that we thought was going to be pure exposition actually turned out to be the emotional core of the story," McQuarrie tells GamesRadar+ and Total Film in London.
