Mission: Impossible Is Now The Best Spy Franchise Here's why the Cruise vehicle is now firmly established as the leading cinematic spy series. As is Bond tradition, the role will be re-cast and the series continue on, but it will have its work cut out to reclaim its title from Mission: Impossible as the best spy-thriller franchise. James Bond is also in a state of flux following the conclusion of Daniel Craig's tenure with 2021’s No Time To Die. Matt Damon and/or Jeremy Renner could still potentially return to the world of Bourne, but there has been no official word on a new Bourne movie in some time. A short-lived Jason Bourne TV show, Treadstone tried (and failed) to invigorate the franchise, being canceled after a single season. While Mission: Impossible has gone from strength to strength, the Bourne franchise has stalled in recent years, with 2016's Jason Bourne being the last installment.

Mission: Impossible is now considered by many to be the most consistent spy-thriller franchise, above both James Bond and Jason Bourne's respective series. The franchise has improved with each movie, with 2018's Mission: Impossible – Fallout being the most critically and finically successful entry. Cruise’s mission statement was for each installment to be different, and brought in a new director each time, until director Christopher McQuarrie became the series’ MVP after Cruise. Tom Cruise brought the 1960’ TV show Mission: Impossible to the big screen in 1996. Mission: Impossible 8 then potentially brings Ethan Hunt's story to a close in 2024, but not before getting a chance to continue to evolve and expand the sub-genre.
Tom Cruise's action franchise has been around for over 25 years and will continue with the much-anticipated Mission: Impossible 7 in 2023. James Bond is one of the most successful movie franchises of all time, but the Mission: Impossible movies, like the Bourne series before it, have steadily built up a reputation as the gold standard for the spy-thriller genre that threatens Bond's crown.
