Is ‘Mission: Impossible 6' already in development?

Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) in "Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation”

The fifth instalment of the action-packed Tom Cruise franchise is yet to hit the cinema, but Paramount is reportedly readying its sequel

According to Tracking Board, no cast members have yet been decided upon and all that is clear is that J.J. Abrams would continue his involvement - he joined for the third instalment - and that Cruise would remain as a producer.

"Mission: Impossible - Rouge Nation" is set to hit cinema screens on July 31st and promises to be the most adrenaline-fueled in the series to date. And there are whispers that if a sixth film is green lit quickly, that it could be because it will be the final instalment with Tom Cruise as its leading man and would see him hand the baton to a new super spy.
