Mission: Impossible 7 – in the film we will learn about Ethan Hunt’s past. What role will the villain play in this?

Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning – Part 1 will be the seventh part of the franchise in which he will reprise his role as Ethan Hunt Tom Cruise. This time, the opponent of the main character will be a person from his past, whom he played Esai Morales.

Christopher McQuarrie, the director Mission: Impossible 7 in an interview for Empire revealed that we will be exploring Ethan’s past for the first time, something that has never happened in any previous film before. Casting Esai Morales as the villain allowed you to explore things that are related to these characters and explore the main character’s past. The filmmaker revealed that the antagonist’s name is Gabriel.

Ethan has a past prior to the IMF, and this character allows us to explore her as she knew Ethan before Ethan became Ethan. It’s part of who Gabriel is. Every detail of this story is very carefully thought out.

The director added that people who want to prepare themselves can take whatever they like from the name. This statement suggests that it is not without significance for the plot. In addition, McQuarrie’s above comment may in some ways confirm the theory of fans who believe that “Ethan Hunt” is just a pseudonym of the character he used while working at the IMF. Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning – Part 1 has a chance to clarify this issue.
