'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol' Almost Killed Off A Major Character
Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol almost had an entirely different ending, which may not have sat too well with fans. In a new interview with , screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie explained how the fourth M:I installment could have been dramatically different if he didn’t come along to do the rewrites.
According to his interview with Light the Fuse, McQuarrie came to the project about halfway through filming and saw some drastic measures needed to take place. Before he came along, Julia (Ethan Hunt’s wife) was going to be dead. For the entire movie, you’re led to believe she actually is dead, but viewers found out at the end of the movie it was all a ruse to actually protect her.
IMF agent William Brandt (Jeremy Renner) felt responsible for the death of Julia, as he was assigned to protect her and Ethan in secret, but inevitably found out she was killed while he had abandoned his post. After the big reveal at the end of the movie, Ethan let Brandt know he knew all along. He knew that if he and Julia were together, she would never be safe.
So if Julia actually had died, fans would have been more than upset, to say the least. Moviegoers were introduced to Julia in Mission: Impossible 3 when she did almost lose her life, but, as always, Ethan came to the rescue and the rest is history. McQuarrie shared the same sentiment as fans.
