Tom Cruise refused to discuss the future of the "Mission: Impossible" franchise in Cannes. He urged viewers to enjoy the new film, rather than speculate on the future of the series.
Tom Cruise refused to talk about the future of the popular action series "Mission: Impossible" during a lecture at the Cannes Film Festival. He said that he would like people to just watch "Final Reckoning" and enjoy the film. He stated this, UNN writes with reference to Variety.

At a large-scale master class at the Cannes Film Festival, Christopher McQuarrie delved into the evolution of the "competitive" film business and explained why his collaboration with Tom Cruise could be an example of how to keep viewers in theaters.
The screenwriter, director and producer of "Mission: Impossible: Final Reckoning" told French journalist Didier Allouch that the theatrical experience is under threat due to the development of streaming.
I'm not going to advocate for streaming here, because I'm a staunch supporter of the big screen, and I think what makes cinema special is that hundreds of strangers come together to sit in the same room, watch something together and experience something together. Streaming risks leading to its disappearance
About 20 minutes after the start of the hour-long conversation, Cruise suddenly appeared, a day after the movie megastar showed off some of the film's stunts as part of a master class for TikTok creators.
He doesn't just write for me. He can come and write for an actor
Although many industry observers expect this film to be the final part of the multi-billion dollar franchise, Cruise did not rule out continuing the story in the form of new chapters when asked about the future of "Mission".
I would prefer that people just watch the new film and enjoy it. And we had a great time working on it, it was a lot of fun. And I just want you all to enjoy our work. Enjoy it and know that the culmination has come right now.
Cruise talked about how McQuarrie's style offers a necessary return to Hollywood films of years past, which he says is demonstrated in the eighth installment of the franchise.
This takes us back to silent movies. When you watch this film, you will feel how big plans are realized through characters
McQuarrie, who grew up on 70s films and even older classics, said that Cruise won't take "no" for an answer when it comes to the daring stunts involved in the film.
Tom said: I want to be weightless between the wings of an airplane. And these people who do it for a living and are part of a long tradition said: No, you won't. And Tom said: Thank you for your time. And we continued working with other people
Let us remind you
American actor Tom Cruise, receiving a scholarship from the British Film Institute (via the Times of London), called on young actors to study the craft of filmmaking. The A-list actor lamented film schools for not teaching aspiring actors the tools of production and filmmaking technologies, as it is important for all actors to know about lighting, camera blocking, etc.
