Rebecca Ferguson returning for ‘Mission: Impossible 6’, futz yeah!
Rebecca Ferguson was one of the best parts of the fifth Mission: Impossible flick, so I’m glad to see her returning for the sixth. Pretty excited about the movie in general. Director/Writer returning, female lead returning, theta levels off the fucking chart. Hell yeah.
Stealing the show from Tom Cruise in his own movie is no easy feat, but Swedish actressRebecca Ferguson pulled it off in Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, becoming a breakout star in the process. Since then she’s beenconsidered for the female lead in Gambit, booked and shot the thriller The Girl on the Train, and also picked up the female lead in The Snowman starring Michael Fassbender. There’s even a rumor that she’s wanted to play Captain Marvel.
Now she’ll also be busy reprising the role that brought all this success in the first place. Ferguson has been confirmed to return for Mission: Impossible 6 as well. Find out more below!
Showbiz 411 has the scoop that Ferguson’s deal is “signed, sealed and delivered for part 6,” meaning that her badass character Isla Faust will play some kind of role in the sequel. Ferguson will be making history for the Mission: Impossiblefranchise as the first female star to return for a second time in a major role. Michelle Monaghan previously reprised herMission: Impossible III role for a cameo in Ghost Protocol, but Ferguson’s return should be much different.
As of now, we have no idea what the story will be for the sixth installment. But with production not planned to begin until next August, there’s plenty of time for us to find that out. The important thing is Rebecca Ferguson returning forMission Impossible 6, as a cunning and generally cool character back to team up with Ethan Hunt and the Impossible Mission Force again.
Ferguson has this classic movie star vibe about her, and she really brought life to the character of Isla Faust. It also helped that the script kept us guessing as to whether or not we could trust her, making Isla that much more engaging and compelling.
