There was a trade report from THR indicating that Paramount was positioning Mission: Impossible 8 to be the "final" entry in the series. They also wrote that Tom Cruise didn't want it to end. Perhaps they were referring to the imminent title announcement that the 8th installment would be called "The Final Reckoning" since there's no logical way the series is truly ending. Perhaps Ethan Hunt's journey may conclude soon, if Cruise allows it, but there's no way Paramount - as a newly acquired business entity under Skydance - can let one of their most value IP just... stop. It's too important to revenue on licensing and at the box office. M:I will continue, no matter what, in some form because stakeholders require it to. Also, Jeremy Renner's character is still out there! ;)

Marvel Studios is returning to San Diego Comic-Con with a Hall H where we expect to see Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts*, updates for Fantastic Four and Blade, and more, but Deadpool & Wolverine opens that very same weekend during the event so will Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman make a surprise appearance to talk about what's next? Is it time for the X-Men or should Deadpool get another title film as well? Marvel needs to set the record straight on the next two dated and titled Avengers movies and confirm when X-Men is happening. With the early tracking so far, Deadpool's adventures need to continue as one of the MCU's flagship characters.
