Simon Pegg thinks it’s "bittersweet" that Mission: Impossible is ending
After starring in the action series for nearly 20 years, Simon Pegg feels "sad" to see 'Mission: Impossible' end with 'The Final Reckoning'.
Simon Pegg thinks it’s "bittersweet" that ‘Mission: Impossible’ is ending.
The 55-year-old actor has portrayed I.M.F (Impossible Mission Force) technician Benji Dunn in the action franchise from 2006’s ‘Mission: Impossible III’, and has now admitted it is "strange" to see the franchise be sunsetted with ‘Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning’.
Speaking with Collider, Pegg said: "It's strange. It's bittersweet, is the best way I can describe it.
"It's been such a ride. It's been such an amazing experience. I feel grateful, and I feel sad, and I'm excited for people to see this movie. I mean, what an incredible wrapping up."
The ‘Hot Fuzz’ star added director Christopher McQuarrie - who has helmed the series from 2015’s ‘Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation’ - "has done such an incredible job" of building on what has come before, and crafting the story of Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise).
Pegg continued: "[McQuarrie] has done such an incredible job embracing everything that's gone before and pulling it into this movie as a kind of culmination of all Ethan's choices.
"I don't think there could be a better way to go out."
