There is a strong possibility that Tom Cruise is going to assume his role as Ethan Hunt in the fourth Mission: Impossible.
Although Paramount Pictures and Tom Cruise parted ways in 2006, after 14 years of collaboration, they may be teaming up again to take on the new project.
Paramount is reviewing the screenplay, and the actor probably will not hesitate to accept the part.
The fourth film could revive Tom Cruise’s career after his last film, Lions for Lambs, directed and starring Robert Redford, did not have overwhelming success.
Brian De Palma, John Woo and J.J. Abrams directed the first three Mission: Impossible films.
The official directors of the fourth instalment have not been confirmed, however, there is speculation that Tom Cruise would like to work with J.J. Abrams again.
In the meantime, the actor will appear this summer in Tropic Thunder, which will be released on August 15.
