You can still wait Mission: Impossible 7 to start revealing its secrets, writer/director Christopher McQuarrie is staying busy in the realm of Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt. And if recent remarks are any indication, there’s a potential for Henry Cavill to return as the duplicitous August Walker, even if the events of Mission: Impossible FalloutThis would suggest that it’s quite impossible.
Christopher McQuarrie’s Feelings On Henry Cavill’s Potential Return To Mission: Impossible
This is a profile that was recently published by THR, Henry Cavill’s career was covered in great detail, including what his intensity brought to the table of the sixth mission in Ethan Hunt’s espionage career. Fans were left wanting more of Christopher McQuarrie’s second film, which was also directed and written by him. So when asked whether or not Cavill’s character could return for a future Mission, Christopher McQuarrie’s final word was as follows:
I’m in the process of rewriting Mission: 8 right now, this afternoon I could turn a page and any actor from the past could come back. There is no death in movies. It’s only unavailability.
“Unavailability” is something that’s definitely plagued the twin sequels that McQuarrie signed on to tackle after the success of Mission: Impossible Fallout. Mission: Impossible 7 alone had two major shakeups occur, as Henry Cavill’s on-screen boss Angela Bassett couldn’t return to her role.Erika Sloane was cast as planned. On top of that, Nicholas Hoult’s casting as the main villain had to be scrapped, as scheduling delays made him unavailable to remain on board the project. His casting with Esai Morales, actor, as well as Bassett’s unavailability crisis, both stemmed from the magical world of COVID-related restrictions and delays.

While this isn’t the first time Mr. McQuarrie has teased of Cavill’s potential return, Fallout’s climactic third act resolution continues to make this scenario a difficult puzzle to assemble. It all comes down to a decision that Christopher McQuarrie still gets feedback on from the franchise’s fans, as he literally gave the hook to Cavill’s mustachioed baddie in the big finish.
