>McQuarrie's agents were quickly told not to bother pitching him for ‘Top Gun 3,’ as Cruise’s camp had already ruled it out. The message was clear: whatever the history between the two, this wasn’t going to be their next collaboration.>The biggest factor appears to be the fallout from the last two ‘Mission: Impossible’ films. Those last two films, ‘Dead Reckoning’ and ‘Final Reckoning,’ had very difficult productions; the latter saw its budget balloon to $400M-plus, and the two-part finale drew mixed reviews—particularly criticism aimed at its A.I. villain. Both installments failed to hit the franchise’s previous box office highs, each landing in the $500M+ range worldwide.>Cruise, fairly or not, ultimately blamed McQuarrie for the underperformance. The two remain “friendly,” but the prevailing sentiment is that they “need a break” professionally. The result is that McQuarrie is now attached to two non-Cruise projects, both fairly buzzy endeavors. The first is a ‘Conan the Barbarian’ sequel, with Arnold Schwarzenegger returning to the role he made famous, and the other project—which has sparked a bidding war between five studios—is the “Battlefield” adaptation, with Michael B. Jordan attached to star.https://www.worldofreel.com/blog/2026/5/2/tom-cruise-blamed-christopher-mcquarrie-for-mission-impossible-misfire-keeping-him-off-top-gun-3
>>220260753>Conan the Barbarian’ sequel, with Arnold Schwarzenegger returning to the role he made famous,He is fucking ancient nowHow the fuck is he gonna play conan again
>>220260753The problem with Final Reckoning was that it had to remind you of all the other movies every three minutes.
>>220260799Conan the Octogenarian
>>220260799John Millius originally wanted to make a trilogy that would end with Conan becoming king and dealing with all the shit that naturally follows. King Conan script(s) have been around for decades, and I don't think McQuarrie will have any more luck getting it greenlit that anyone else who's tried.
>>220260799It’s going to be King Conan. You know, the story where Conan is old as shit and ruler of his own kingdom. Dumbfuck.
>>220260799he'll be half cgi
>>220260753That’s Freemason Satanic imagery in the background. This whole thread is gonna be swarming with gangstalkers and other agents of the end times dammit.
>>220260800>>220260753The problem with Dead Reckoning and Final Reckoning was that they confused length with quality. The films are too long. And too much of that is just every character jerking off Tom Cr-I mean 'Ethan Hunt'>Oh wow this mission is certain death and the hardest possible thing ever. Only ETHAN HUNT could pull this off>Ethan you're the most amazing and handsomest person in the world and you totally don't look like an old man. I want your babies but I know you're too noble for that. Maybe you should just take the super powered mcguffin because you're the only person on the planet who won't be corrupted by that much power?>Well we're fucked guys. Nothing to do but wait and assume that Ethan will save the day somehow. Until then, let's just twiddle our thumbs
>>220260799> He is fucking ancient nowHow the fuck is he gonna play conan againOh that is cute you think this won't be a Nepo Baby project for the son he had with the maid.
>>220260799>He is fucking ancient now>How the fuck is he gonna play conan againLike this.
>>220260799He's gonna die and his daughter will replace him.It's gonna be so fucking awful.
>>220261070>That’s Freemason Satanic imagery in the background.yes it's from the US government
>>220260753Nobody wants to work with loony Cruise anymore Kosinski made F1 and it was a hit without the scientology retard
>>220260919Dune Messiah of Conan. >>220260800Not enough story to stretch over 2 movies. Blatant cashgrab that ruined a trusty IP. It looked worse up against Barbenheimer.
Cruise is right. Latest Mission Impossible movies are sleep inducing.
fallout should've been the last one
>>220260799to pass the title of conan on to a spicy black kween
>>220260753Movie budgets and box office performance are not my fucking problem as a consumer.
>>220260799like this
>>220265169Nu-Conan is going to be a better man and lecture this version of Conan.
Rumored director shortlist for Top Gun 3!> Jon M. Chu (Wicked, G.I. Joe: Retaliation)> Joachim Rønning (Tron: Ares, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales)> Adil El Arbi & Bilall Fallah (Bad Boys: Ride or Die, Ms. Marvel)Of those 3 options I would probably go with Chu (Retaliation was really underrated & solid IMO)If it was up to me I would go with Brad Bird (Iron Giant, Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol) but he is probably still in the doghouse for Tomorrowland.The safest bet would just be to wait until Kosinski is done with Miami Vice.
>>220265514i think i should do it.
The Mission Impossible series needed to do what 24 did, detonate a nuclear bomb right outside Los Angeles but close enough so that Jack Bauer can look at it and know he failed Ethan saving all the nuclear attacks every goddamn movie got old
>>220260753>>220264542>moobie is bad>"your fired"was that so hard? Why does only Cruise care about quality anymore?
>source is one of those gay jew gossip blog "a source said"trying to turn this into some gay blame game drama when they've said for years it would be the final MI and it was obvious after production issues that they needed a break, I love mcq and would have been disappointed if he was put in charge of top gun 3, but a bf movie doesn't sound very appealing
>>220260753>is the “Battlefield” adaptation, with Michael B. Jordan attached to star.jfc fuck offMicael B Jordan cannot act, full stopfucking stop this nepo baby suckoff and stop raping videogames
>>220260799Passing the torch story, to Michael B. Jordan.
>>220260753>source: the World of Reel faggot
>>220266717>raping videogamesbro Battlefield is literally just a military shooter. There is nothing to adapt faithfully. It's shooting guys and holding objectives. That's fucking it, there's no plot or characters to ruin.
>>220266717>He thinks he's the son of the basketball player Lol you're a retard
>>220260753>approve someones ideas>it fails>blame them
Maverick was fucking dogshit
>>220261070>That’s Freemason Satanic imagery in the background.Weren't the founding fathers of the USA literally freemasons though?
>>220260842kek
>>220264542it's cope.Cruse probably has more control than any A lister, it was his job to quality-keep his movies.
