Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning has meticulous crafted stunts and many ties to previous instalments in the franchise, and yet the cast have revealed that "nothing's written in stone" in the script when production began.
Director Christopher McQuarrie, who has directed four Mission: Impossible films, knows the resolution of the film but he prefers to let the "location we get to tell him the story," before the cast shoot multiple scenes to create different versions of their character.
