In a recent interview with a US media outlet, ‘Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning’ director Christopher McQuarrie revealed that he and the Hollywood star have shared ideas for the film.

“The conversations we’ve had about Les Grossman are so f–king funny. “[Tom Cruise and I are] talking about it, we’re having very serious conversations about it, and how best to do it. It ultimately comes down to what that character is,” he said.

According to the filmmaker, they would use the discussions on the potential Les Grossman film as an escape from ‘Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning’ filming and would often riff on the character together over meals.

“We don’t even think about the structure, we play with scenes. Just to be sitting at a breakfast table, not talking about the movie we’re making for a minute, is such decompression. And just riffing with Tom playing Les Grossman at the table, it was one of the real joys of making this movie. It was all the stuff we were doing, planning the future while slugging out the present,” he said.

It is worth noting here that Tom Cruise famously played the character in 2008’s star-studded ‘Tropic Thunder.’

In the comedy-action title, the Hollywood star’s portrayal of Les Grossman as a mouthy and antagonistic producer of the titular film earned him widespread praise.

Meanwhile, Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie are currently basking in the success of their recent collaboration, ‘Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.’

The eighth title in the blockbuster franchise scored the biggest Memorial Day box office numbers of all time, grossing a series-best $63 million over the weekend.
