What This Means For Mission: Impossible The Final Reckoning
Ethan’s Next Mission Will Feature One Big Change
Kittridge has always been a somewhat slippery figure in theMission: Impossiblemovies.
He wasn’t a true villain in the original 1996 movie or inDead Reckoning, but he has generally been an antagonist for Ethan, attempting to reign in Cruise’s operative and exert control.The fact that Ethan and Kittridge could be working together inThe Final Reckoningspeaks to the size and scale of the threat facing the world this time around, with Ethan seemingly the only person who can be trusted to stop annihilation on a global scale.
While Kittridge was an ally to Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning, it looks like he could be a villain in The Final Reckoning.
Ethan has, over the past seven movies, often gone rogue or operated outside the lines of what government agencies would consider acceptable.

With Kittridge now in his corner in theMission: Impossible The Final Reckoningstory, he will seemingly have more resources than ever before, withHolt McCallany’s new character asking, incredulously, “You gave him an aircraft carrier?
“McCallany is one of several new cast members featured in the trailer, along with Nick Offerman, Hannah Waddingham, Tramell Tillman, and Katy O’Brian.
Rolf Saxon will also be returning inThe Final Reckoningas William Donloe, the CIA analyst that Hunt outsmarts in the originalMission: Impossible.

As is customary with each newMission: Impossiblemovie,The Final Reckoninglooks to feature Cruise’s most dangerous and extreme stunts yet.
The sequence involving Cruise clinging to the outside of a biplane, which was filmed in South Africa, is, by itself, a major upping of the ante after theDead Reckoningending, but it also looks likeCruise and director Christopher McQuarrie are attempting some ambitious action underwater involving the Sevastopol submarine.
Ethan often finds himself with few people he can trust on his missions, and it will be interesting to see him working with the backing of the government this time around.
If past movies are any indication, though,whatever alliance that exists between him and Kittridge probably won’t last for the entire movie.
It still has not been explicitly confirmed whetherMission: Impossible The Final Reckoningwill be the last mission for Hunt, but the latest trailer suggests that, if it is, Cruise will be going out with a bang.
