Well before the pandemic arrived, people were already anxiously awaiting the release of “Mission: Impossible 7” and “Mission: Impossible 8.” The duo of star Tom Cruise and writer-director Christopher McQuarrie have already turned in multiple sequels to the franchise, each eclipsing the previous in terms of box office gross and overall quality. But then the pandemic hit and the ‘M:I’ franchise might have been hurt more than any other in terms of delays and production costs.

The Jack Reacher author is addressing the criticism fans had over Tom Cruise playing the Army veteran hero in the movie franchise.

“There was criticism from the book fans, because they had built up a very clear image of what Reacher should look like,” Child said in an interview with Metro.
