We’re having very serious conversations about it, and how best to do it."

Christopher McQuarrie, who has collaborated with Tom on multiple Mission: Impossible films, including the recently released Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning, that has been getting immense positve responses. As per the media source, he further reveals that it was during the filming of this instalment that both of them discussed about the character.
