Just when it looked like the IMF was finally packing up its gadgets and calling it a day, fresh buzz says the adventure might not be over yet. Word on the street is that Ethan Hunt could still have a few death-defying tricks up his sleeve. Retirement? That doesn't really sound like his style.

Although 'Mission: Impossible–The Final Reckoning' has been promoted as the franchise’s big send-off, talk online hints that Tom Cruise could still have more in store.

'Mission: Impossible 9' Rumours

According to the gossip account DeuxMoi, an anonymous and unverified submission claims that Chloé Zhao is in talks to write and direct 'Mission: Impossible 9.' The message alleges that Cruise personally approached Zhao, that they have already developed a treatment together, and that a script is now in progress.

If 'Mission: Impossible 9' is true, it would mark a major creative shift. Zhao won an Academy Award for 'Nomadland' and later directed Marvel's 'Eternals,' bringing her signature visual style to the superhero genre. She also recently helmed 'Hamnet' and directed the pilot for Hulu’s upcoming 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' sequel series.

For now, this remains speculation, as the original tip cannot be confirmed. Still, if Cruise is indeed exploring a collaboration with Zhao, it could signal a bold new direction for the franchise. The series has a history of rotating directors, from Brian De Palma and John Woo to J. J. Abrams and Brad Bird, before Christopher McQuarrie took over, starting with 'Rogue Nation' and continuing through the most recent instalments.

Bringing Zhao on board would reintroduce that fresh-director energy while blending her grounded storytelling style with Cruise's signature high-stakes action. 'Mission: Impossible 9' has not been officially announced, but if early creative talks are happening, Ethan Hunt's next chapter may already be quietly taking shape.
