With the new movie in theaters, some may be wondering who dies in Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One. Here’s a list of the Mission: Impossible 7 character deaths.
Who dies in Mission: Impossible 7?
Ilsa Faust dies in Mission: Impossible 7.
The character was introduced in 2015 with Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation, and this was her third movie in the series. Although fans have hoped that she would become a new romantic interest for Ethan, she gets killed in a sword fight with the villainous Gabriel (Esai Morales).
Another character who gets killed by Gabriel is the new character Denlinger (Cary Elwes), director of National Intelligence. Gabriel kills him on the train in the final act upon knowing that he is the only one who knows of the Sevastopol, a Russian submarine that got destroyed by its own torpedo in the opening scene.
A character who appeared to have died at first is Paris (Pom Klmentieff), a French assassin betrayed by Gabriel in the final act. She ultimately ends up coming back in the film’s final moments, saving Ethan and Grace’s lives as the train falls over the edge of a cliff. She is listed in the cast of Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part Two.
The latest action spy thriller stars Tom Cruise once again as IMF Agent Ethan Hunt. The film from co-writer/director Christopher McQuarrie is the seventh movie in the long-running Mission: Impossible series. “Ethan Hunt and the IMF team must track down a terrifying new weapon that threatens all of humanity if it falls into the wrong hands,” reads the official synopsis. “With control of the future and the fate of the world at stake, a deadly race around the globe begins. Confronted by a mysterious, all-powerful enemy, Ethan is forced to consider that nothing can matter more than the mission — not even the lives of those he cares about most.”
