* RealityEnsues:
** Even with Lane captured, there are still many members of the Syndicate still at large; the remaining members formed another terrorist group called the Apostles, which is as dangerous as when Lane was in charge.[[note]]To be fair, it's shown later in the movie that the Apostles still consider Lane their leader and follow his direction; that's the whole significance of naming your group 'Apostles'.[[/note]] Just removing the leader of a terrorist organization doesn't make the organization itself disappear.
** A HALO jump is dangerous enough as it is. It's an even more terrible idea to jump straight into a storm cloud crackling with lightning. [[spoiler:Walker cockily does exactly that (''after disconnecting Hunt's oxygen!'') and almost instantly gets stunned by a lightning strike, nearly dooming him and Ethan who has to save his ass.]]
** Walker cracks "John Lark" over the head with the mask-creating device which knocks him out, but also breaks the screen and makes it completely useless. "Lark" also regains consciousness shortly afterwards as knocking someone out with blunt force only works for a brief period.
** [[PlayedForLaughs In a more lighthearted example]], restrooms (especially those near a party) are not a private space where Ethan and his target can be isolated indefinitely. Several times during the apprehension of "John Lark", Ethan is bothered by unrelated civilians who come and go and risk ruining the mission by discovering the mess they've made. He is notably pestered by a group of drunks who can see their feet under the stalls doors, and assume than Ethan is having an orgy with Walker and Lark.
** "John Lark" learns that it doesn't matter what an unstoppable martial arts badass you are. A bullet to the head will still put you down as easily as it will anyone else.
** Two within the face of a few seconds during the Paris chase scene. Walker and Hunt try to escape the cops by driving their armored truck through a ''very'' narrow alleyway. Naturally, it gets stuck soon enough, and when they climb out to switch to motorcycles, Ethan's bike doesn't start instantly but instead takes a few seconds to start up, which nearly gets him shot by the cops.
** Even with Atlee out of the picture, UsefulNotes/MI6 still wouldn't bring Ilsa Faust in because she failed to capture or kill Solomon Lane, who was turned over to the IMF at the end of the last film. Her going deep undercover and participating in many of Lane's acts of terrorism means she is also a wanted woman as well, leaving her no choice but to go on the run for two straight years until she either manages to kill Lane or bring him back to the British government by herself.
** Hunley [[spoiler:vs. August Walker. Not only is Hunley a somewhat pudgy bureaucrat and Walker a hulking CIA agent with a reputation for brutality, Hunley was well aware of what kind of dude Walker was before deciding to take him on in single hand-to-hand combat. Walker basically guts him, leaving him just alive enough to kick Hunt's ass into high gear before dying.]]
** Julia [[spoiler: has spent close to a decade undercover, away from Ethan; it's understandable that she would find new love and remarry.]]
** The massive [[{{BFG}} machine gun]] that Walker uses while shooting at [[spoiler: Ethan]]'s helicopter is ''not'' a precision weapon. Shooting from a moving helicopter at ''another'' moving helicopter, at high speeds and poor angles for aiming means that he's unable to get more than a few glancing hits on his target, and it quickly runs out of ammo a few minutes later anyway.
** You cannot just shoot out the locks on locked boxes if you don't know the contents inside them. There might be flammable, explosive materials, [[spoiler:or in this case, ''a nuclear bomb'']] inside them which will result in an explosion if the bullet or the shrapnel hit them.
** Fuel isn't pure water, where you get doused in it and you will only end up wet. [[spoiler:August Walker is shot in half of his face by aerial fuel from a burst helicopter fuel pipe, and it's excruciatingly painful, chemically burning him]].

That is all nice, but is irrelevant to THIS work.


In January 2019, it was announced that two sequels to this movie will be directed by Christopher [=McQuarrie=], filmed back-to-back for fall 2021 and fall 2022. Later that year, Rebecca Ferguson confirmed she would be returning for at least the first sequel. Due to the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic hampering production, the back-to-back plans were cancelled to focus solely on ''Mission: Impossible 7''. The seventh film is set to release on May 27, 2022 and will be made available on Creator/ParamountPlus 45 days later.

''Fallout'' is the first direct sequel in the series, following on from ''Rogue Nation''. Two years after the capture of Solomon Lane, the remnants of the Syndicate have reformed into a terrorist cell known as the Apostles.

Now under the watch of CIA operative August Walker (Creator/HenryCavill), Ethan and his team race around the globe to recover the plutonium before it's too late.
