Mission Impossible - Fallout Predictions

     Tom Cruise will lose his shit a few times over the obstacle course of the movie. X Games-worthy motorcycles and wind sprints across barren fields will most definitely be prominently featured. (I saw Baron Fields play the harp in the Quad City Symphony Orchestra on a brisk autumn Sunday in 2013.) Window-sized maps with black and white pictures of suspects and strings connecting push pins around the country will likely be seen. I wouldn't be shocked if there was a ransom note created by letters cut out of magazines or two. There's a good chance that Rebecca Ferguson pulls a gun out of her boot and shoots a villain who is holding an armful of important documents and drops them everywhere in a comedic fashion. It's probably safe to say that no one would be surprised if Henry Cavill dons a cape and also has the ability to fly.
     What if the plot of the movie was whoever can dare Tom Cruise to do the craziest thing wins and he suplexes a tiger shark. What if Tom Cruise goes off script and starts professing about Scientology and Christopher McQuarrie left it in the movie because he is dreadfully frightened of cults after seeing the Netflix documentary Wild Wild Country. Wild Wild Country is the Wild Wild West of Netflix documentaries in that it is Will Smith's worst film.
     Here's to hoping the Mission Impossible franchise never ends and Tom Cruise goes on to star in Mission Impossible 24 - Denture Nation at the tender age of 94. He would still do all his own stunts but the stunts would be more related to trying to find his glasses, remembering his grandchildren's names and sparking conversations with the nurses at the Beverly Hills Retirement Home for Former Action Stars.
