She wasn't really a villain, she was allied with the villain and she's a criminal, but it was just business so she had no problem with the hero and wasn't involved with all the shit that Jim did to get the fake list.

I really wish they managed to get her back for Ghost Protocol, it would have been great to see her again, and the setup with her henchman with the same balaclava from the original feels out of place seeing as it's then not her.

Max wasn't the only one that we wished would come back for Ghost Protocol.

They were wanting to solve the Jim Phelps dilemma as far as separating the TV show character from the villain of the first movie, long before the Final Reckoning in 2025.

By that, i mean they were trying to get Peter Graves to come back for Ghost Protocol (2011) and resurrect the Jim Phelps character as a way to make it up to Graves for ruining his Jim Phelps character in the first movie, but then Graves passed away in 2010 before he even had a chance to reconcile with the Mission Impossible universe.

The sexual tension between her and Tom in the first movie is off the charts

She didn't know Job any more than Job knew her, so it was solely business

Is redgrave still alive?

Redgrave, yes. But she would've been 74 when they were working on Ghost Protocol if they were able to get her back to reprise her Max character.

The ending leads you to believe she may have garnered a deal with the cia to keep her freedom, be cool if we got more about that.
