After his high-flying exploits over the city of Dubai paid off, and quite handsomely, Tom Cruise
has opted for yet another go as Ethan Hunt. The perpetually
half-grinning actor has officially signed on for a fifth movie in the Mission: Impossible franchise, as reported by Entertainment Weekly, banking once more on what seems to be his only remaining fail safe title.While Cruise's most recent big screen turn, Oblivion, fared well at the box office, the once stalwart movie star has seen some meager releases over the past year and change: nobody wanted to see Tom Cruise as a mountainous renegade in Jack Reacher. And even fewer people wanted to see him as a rock god in Rock of Ages.
But the Mission: Impossible franchise serves as a reliable go-to for Cruise, with Ghost Protocol raking in a healthy $209 million. Newly over 50, we're wondering how long the actor can keep up with his secret agent stunts — you can bet he's going to try to top dangling from the Burj Khalifa in No. 5 — although this news, plus Cruise's casting in The Man from U.N.C.L.E., indicate that he has no intention of quieting down his act anytime soon.
