Glen Powell Responds to ‘Mission: Impossible’ Rumors: WATCH

Is Glen Powell taking over the “Mission: Impossible” franchise?

A trailer was recently released for “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.” The eighth installment in the franchise starring Tom Cruise will serve as the last time viewers see the star actor as Ethan Hunt.

It certainly looks like it will be a great film and an excellent way to say goodbye to the legendary character.

But what if Powell is secretly waiting in the wings to take over?

Glen Powell reacts to the “Mission: Impossible” rumor.

A rumour took off like wildfire On Tuesday, Cruise will have Powell replace him in the historic film franchise. Pat McAfee decided to get to the bottom of the rumor and find out the truth. He called the popular actor on his live show on Tuesday to find out if there is any truth to the rumour.

“My mom would never let me do it…It’s a death trap,” Powell told Pat McAfee when the former Colts player called him.

To be clear… it’s not exactly a no! Although it’s fair to say that Cruise’s “Top Gun” co-star certainly doesn’t sound like he’ll fit the bill of Ethan Hunt anytime in the future.

He didn’t even hesitate to say that his mother would never let that happen. He spit it out so fast it’s hard to believe he’s covering anything up.

If he’s secretly hiding that the “Mission: Impossible” franchise will continue with him, then he’s a much better actor than we’ve given him credit for. That’s saying something because Powell is one of the best actors in the game right now.

We’ll see what Powell comes up with next in Hollywood, but I think it’s safe to say we can rule out “Mission: Impossible” for now. Let me know what you think [email protected].
