Tom Cruise has revealed plans for more Mission Impossible movies, which would see him playing daredevil Ethan Hunt well into his sixties.
The 55-year-old actor returns as the roguish spy in the sixth movie of the series with the upcoming Mission: Impossible – Fallout, and he thinks theres still a lot of mileage left in the blockbuster franchise.
Opening up about his plans, he said: I have a lot of ideas about the next phase, about the next two or three, of where I want to go.
Im not ready to discuss it now, but youll be able to see when you see this movie. Its very much the epic in all of this series.
McQ [the films director Christopher McQuarrie] and I talked about it and I was like, “Weve earned it with this franchise to blow it out of this way”.

Despite the movies being his longest running franchise, Tom admitted that its never as easy as he hopes to make one.
He said: “You think you know how to make them until you start making the next one. Its very humbling.
Im always like, “I know how to make these movies.” Then youre like, “Oh my God, I dont know what Im doing.” Thats Mission yknow. And you just keep at it.
The franchise may be called Mission Impossible, but Tom proves in Fallout that just about anything is possible with his latest dare devil stunt.
The star carries out a HALO jump, which is a seriously impressive maneuver used by highly trained military personal to enter hostile areas, and involves jumping out of a plane at 25,000 feet and opening a parachute just 2,000 feet before the ground.

He jumped out of a plane travelling 160 miles per hour, and fell at a speed of around 200 miles per hour while having to hit all of his marks alongside fellow plummeting cameramen to film the scene correctly.
