Renowned actress Rebecca Ferguson is opening up and sharing the reasons behind her exit from the Mission: Impossible franchise. Ferguson, who plays the role of Ilsa Faust, called the character’s planned death in 2023’s Mission: Impossible—Dead Reckoning Part One collaborative in an upcoming interview on WrapWomen’s UnWrapped podcast, per TheWrap.
Ferguson said that Ilsa was starting to work well with the team, referring to the tough assassin first seen in 2015's Rogue Nation, the fifth movie in the Tom Cruise-led franchise. But we all have varying desires, yet for me, Ilsa was mischievous and quite hard to predict'.
Moreover, she also added that in the fifth, and in the sixth and seventh installments of the franchise, several new characters were introduced, leaving little room for the original character's development, she explained. Ilsa was introduced to the Mission: Impossible universe before Vanessa Kirby as Alanna Mitsopolis, also known as the White Widow, Angela Bassett as CIA Director Erika Sloane Henry Cavill as CIA operative August Walker, Pom Klementieff as assassin Paris, Hayley Atwell as thief Grace, and Esai Morales as terrorist Gabriel.
Rebecca Ferguson says she loves portraying her character in Mission: Impossible
Ferguson says that she loves her character in Mission Impossible beyond words and labels it as awesome and fantastic. However, her leaving the role has a lot to do with the physical and logistical commitments required to continue in a blockbuster action franchise. Unless you have a lot of screen time, it's impossible to be in such a huge film that takes almost a year to complete.
Ferguson further added, “There’s a moment where one thinks it needs to be worth it, not just to love the character and to embrace Tom and [writer-director Christopher McQuarrie] and the story. She wants to work. She doesn’t want to sit in a trailer. It is so intoxicatingly exciting when one is rolling, but there’s a lot of waiting.”
