Overview

• Christopher McQuarrie described their talks about reviving Les Grossman as “so f---ing funny” and said they’ve had very serious conversations about how best to do it.
• The potential spinoff remains in early development with no full plot, as Cruise and McQuarrie are experimenting with individual scenes for creative relief.
• Tom Cruise originally conceived Grossman’s fat prosthetic hands and self-choreographed dance sequence for the 2008 satire Tropic Thunder.
• Les Grossman is known as the foul-mouthed, overweight Hollywood studio executive whose temper and giant hands made him a cult favorite.
• Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is currently in theaters and recently delivered the biggest Memorial Day weekend box office in the franchise’s history.
