10 Things That Would Have Happened After 2015's Biggest Movies

4. Mission Impossible Rogue Nation - Someone Asks Ethan Where Julia And Jane Are

One of the better elements of Rogue Nation (and, to be fair, there were quite a few) was Rebecca Ferguson's portrayal of Ilsa Faust. At first she's a Syndicate torturer, then she helps Hunt escape, then she's an apparent assassin in Vienna, then she leads Hunt to Lane's digital drop box, but then she steals the contents for herself, but then she's being pressured by the UK government to screw over Hunt, but then she makes nice with him and helps save the day. Her character-arc had more buts than a Jason Derulo video, but Ferguson's performance was nonetheless a highlight. Now, not to say aloud that the Mission Impossible franchise has a problem with the revolving door nature of its female characters but - to think it at full volume - where the hell were Hunt's wife Julia, or Ghost Protocol's female lead, Agent Jane Carter? Throughout the entirety of the movie, and with all the superfluous small-talk dialogue, nobody thought to ask him where either "the missus" or "that girl who saved all our lives a while back" was. Given that, A) MI:3 went to such extreme lengths to establish Hunt's personal life as a motivation for his continued involvement in these missions, and B) they could really have used another person to fire a gun, the reason for their non-inclusion must be something horrific. Something like, top of my head, Hunt had tried to rope them into some dodgy religious movement but they'd instead threatened to expose it as a weird cult that he'd been using to dodge tax and cover his own sexual deviancies. I dunno, I'm not a screenwriter.
