The fourth edition in the "Mission Impossible" series titled "Ghost Protocol" that was released in 2011 earned more than $600 million at the international box office. At the time, Cruise had said that he was excited about working in the next installment of the franchise and had already started dreaming up the film.
"I'll make as many as people want to see, because they're very challenging and so much fun to make. We're already working on different images (and) talking conceptually," Cruise said.
Cruise produced the first "Mission Impossible" film in 1996 that was directed by Brian De Palma and was based on the television series of the same name.
