The actor humorously dismisses rumors, citing his mother's disapproval of the dangerous role.

Glen Powell addressed rumors on 'The McAfee Show' about taking over the 'Mission: Impossible' franchise from Tom Cruise, joking that his mother wouldn't allow it.
Powell referred to the role as 'the worst gig in town' due to the intense stunts Cruise performs himself, calling it a 'death trap.'
Despite the speculation, Powell confirmed he is not set to replace Cruise, who has expressed a desire to continue the franchise for years to come.
Tom Cruise, known for his own daring stunts, has not announced any plans to retire from his iconic role as Ethan Hunt in the 'Mission: Impossible' series.
