Will Kittridge get too see Ethan very upset this time! 

So, she. is "training" for the film.
Any possibility of Anthony Hopkins returning as well ?
I hope they get to Henry to voice the trailer like he did in the original film
Blame people dog-piling on the first movie in 96 for that plot twist re: Jim Phelps.Glad Czerny is back. These films need a bit more connective tissue than just Cruise and Ving. It always bugged me that the IMF seems to change directors every few hours.
Voight would only come back if they turned the movie into a Trump commercial. No, thanks.
What kind of stunts does that approach lead to?I think to top Cruise's previous stunts they are going to need to starting focusing more on increasing the complexity of his big stunts rather than the sheer scale. Not much in terms of scale is going to top running down the side of the tallest building in the world or hanging off of the side of a plane in flight.
This is just a crude example. Cruise running down the Burj, jumping onto the wing of a low flying plane, breaking in, and hijacking the plane. In camera with no stunt doubles.What kind of stunts does that approach lead to?

Cruise will kill himself one day I swear to God. It ain't worth it, Tommy lol.
The turnover rate isnt as high as it might seem. Weve only seen 3 directors in 14 years.
The IMF Director is most likely chosen by the president and possibly confirmed by the senate. If it's like the FBI director they serve for 10 years. Since Fourteen years have passed since MI1 there would be at least 2 directors in that time. Hopkins director was likely replaced or transferred or retired after a presidential election. Fishburne's character may have still been the IMF director at the time of Ghost Protocol. In that film Wilkinson played the Secretary (probably the Secretary of Defense) rather than the director. Then Baldwin's director takes over in 2015 until he is murdered in 2018.
