One of the strange quirks of the nearly three-decade-old "Mission: Impossible" franchise of action films is that while the series is known for its amazing, jaw-dropping setpieces, the climaxes of these films aren't always the most notable part.

Cruise has teased that this is seemingly the send-off for his IMF agent, and there aren’t any confirmed plans for more sequels in the series. Does Ethan escape from his battle with the AI Entity unscathed, or does he meet a grim fate?
