Tom Cruise, who has earned a reputation for his death-defying stunts in "Mission: Impossible" films, is expected to return as Ethan Hunt.
The superstar confirmed the release year of the films in a tweet.

McQuarrie became the only director in the franchise's history to return for a second time with 2018 film "Fallout" after helming 2015 "Rogue Nation".
"Fallout" was met with unanimous praise from the critics for its upscale action sequences even though Cruise ended up breaking his ankle while shooting a jump scene.
The film made USD 791 million worldwide.
