The eighth and likely final instalment in the franchise continues right where Dead Reckoning's ending left off, with Ethan now in possession of the key that will hopefully take down the rogue AI force known as The Entity.
Of course, one person who won't be back, sadly, is fan-favouriter Rebecca Ferguson as Ilsa Faust, after the character was written out of the franchise in a move that Simon Pegg admits left a lot of people "pissed".
