ROGUE NATION Breakout Rebecca Ferguson Will Reportedly Return For MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 6
A new report has seemingly confirmed that Rogue Nation breakout Rebecca Ferguson will indeed return for the upcoming sixth installment in Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible franchise.
Showbiz411 is reporting that Rebecca Ferguson, breakout star of the critically acclaimed Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, has been "signed, sealed, and delivered" for Paramount Pictures to reprise her role as Ilsa Faust in the upcoming sixth installment of their long-running action franchise. She'll become the first female lead to return for a second Mission and will reunite with long-time franchise star Tom Cruise and Rogue Nation director Christopher McQuarrie, who was also recently confirmed to return for the sixth Mission.
The studio hasn't offered any sort of official confirmation on her return yet, so it would probably be best to take this news with the smallest grain of salt, but considering there were multiple reports that suggested Ferguson's Rogue Nation contract contained an option to appear in a sequel, this report is probably more true than not. No word yet on the rest of the cast, but expect at least a couple familiar faces from the ensemble of Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames, Alec Baldwin, Paula Patton, and/or Maggie Q to return.
Before she tackles the next Mission, which is expected to kick off production next August, Ferguson will star alongside Emily Blunt (Edge Of Tomorrow) in The Girl On The Train and she's also signed on to star opposite Michael Fassbender (X-Men: Apocalypse) in The Snowman.
So, what do you guys think? Excited for the return of Ilsa Faust? Sound off with your thoughts below!
With the IMF disbanded, and Ethan (Tom Cruise) out in the cold, the team now faces off against a network of highly skilled special agents, the Syndicate. These highly trained operatives are hellbent on creating a new world order through an escalating series of terrorist attacks. Ethan gathers his team and joins forces with disavowed British agent Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson), who may or may not be a member of this rogue nation, as the group faces their most impossible mission yet.
