As filming for Mission: Impossible 8 begins, fans are eager to see what the latest installment of the beloved action franchise has in store. With the series known for its intense stunts, intricate plots, and heart-stopping twists, it’s only natural to wonder which characters might meet their maker. Here are three characters who are most likely to die in the upcoming film.
Ethan Hunt’s Love Interest
After the events of Fallout, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson) have finally found some semblance of happiness together. However, given the series’ tendency to kill off main characters, it’s possible that Ilsa might not survive the next mission. With her troubled past and tendency to walk the fine line between good and evil, it’s likely that she’ll find herself in harm’s way once again.
Benji Dunn
Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg) has been a staple of the franchise since Mission: Impossible III, providing comedic relief and technical expertise to the IMF team. Despite his likable nature, Benji’s tendency to get in the way of the main mission could put him in danger. If the plot demands a dramatic sacrifice, Benji might be the first to go, leaving Ethan and the team to pick up the pieces.
Luther Stickell
Luther Stickell (Ving Rhames) has been Ethan’s partner in crime since the early days of the franchise. While he’s managed to survive every mission thus far, his character has grown increasingly reckless over the years. If the stakes are high enough, it’s possible that Luther might take a bullet for the team, giving his life to ensure their success.
Only time will tell which characters will make it out of Mission: Impossible 8 alive. With the series known for its unpredictable twists and turns, fans can be sure that nothing is off the table.
