8 Jun
Summary
- Ethan Hunt dangles from a plane during the opening scene of Rogue Nation.
- Ilsa Faust is introduced as a character with depth in 2015's Rogue Nation.
- The film franchise nearly twenty years to introduce a compelling female lead.
As the "Mission: Impossible" film series neared the end of its second decade, certain elements became consistent hallmarks. Ethan Hunt, portrayed by Tom Cruise, consistently demonstrated unwavering resolve, often prioritizing global safety over his own well-being. Supporting characters like Luther Stickell and Benji Dunn became familiar faces.
However, it took nearly twenty years for the franchise to feature a female character with substantial depth. This changed with the 2015 release of "Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation," which introduced Ilsa Faust, played by Rebecca Ferguson, as Ethan's equal in talent. The film wastes no time, opening with an arresting stunt where Ethan Hunt hangs from a moving airplane.
