If Glen Powell Doesn't Replace Tom Cruise in 'Mission: Impossible,' Blame His Mom

Folks, this may be hard to believe, but Tom Cruise can't do this forever. We may believe the world's most evergreen action star is immortal but eventually time will be up and so, if Mission: Impossible is to continue, we'll need a successor to Ethan Hunt in the Impossible Mission Force. And so, the rumour mill has been buzzing that Cruise might be eyeing Top Gun: Maverick co-star Glen Powell to take over his iconic role in the Mission: Impossible franchise.

Powell burst out laughing and attempted to pour cold water on the speculation, adding that his mother would never let him do that particular role, joking that the franchise is"the worst gig in town" and is a"death trap", which is believable when you consider the lengths Cruise has gone to in the movies, including hanging off a moving airplane, scaling the Burj Khalifa, and most recently, riding a motorcycle off a cliff in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning.
