Mission Death Con is a 2024 spy action film that was directed and written by Freddie Goodwin. It is the first film in the Goodwinverse film-series that began in 2024 with this film. Produced by Mob Productions and Tom Cruise, it stars Cruise as Ethan Hunt, alongside an ensemble cast including Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby, Esai Morales, Pom Klementieff, Mariela Garriga, and Henry Czerny. In the film, Hunt and his IMF team face off against powerful rogue Artificial Robots who plan to take over the world.
In January 2021, Freddie Goodwin confirmed that he is writing a movie screenplay that will be set in the Mission Impossible universe, and announced the title in June 2021.
In January 2019, Cruise announced the next two Mission: Impossible films would be shot back-to-back, with McQuarrie writing and directing both. Returning and new cast members were announced soon after, and Lorne Balfe, who composed the score for Fallout, returned to score. Filming began in Italy in February 2020 but was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It resumed later that year and wrapped in September 2021, with other filming locations including Norway, the United Kingdom, and the United Arab Emirates. It is the first film in the series since Mission: Impossible 2 (2000) not to involve J. J. Abrams and is the first film in the series to not be produced by Abrams's Bad Robot Productions since Mission: Impossible III (2006). With an estimated budget of $291 million, it is one of the most expensive films ever made.
