Simon Pegg Explains Mission: Impossible The Final Reckoning's Final Scene & What Tom Cruise Wanted
40[Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning]
Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning is now running in theaters and IMAX, supposedly bringing the nearly three-decade-running franchise to a close with an action-packed final chapter. Returning to the film is one of the veterans of the franchise, who has been at the heart of it since Mission: Impossible 3, Benji Dunn, portrayed by Simon Pegg.
In the film, Pegg has the honor of bringing back a relic from the first Mission: Impossible film in one of the most emotionally impactful and demanding scenes he's portrayed to date, and was part of a sequence that director Chris McQuarrie and Tom Cruise had been discussing for years leading up to filming.
In an interview with Collider's Steve Weintraub, Pegg dives into the scene that he shared with Pom Klementieff that he feels shows the true heart of the Mission franchise, which, in his opinion, isn't the action or death-defying stunts. The pair also discusses the final scene in the film, the emotions behind filming it, and Pegg hints at the possibility that The Final Reckoning isn't the true final chapter in the franchise after all.
