Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Interview: Vanessa Kirby and Pom Klementieff

In Christopher McQuarrie’s Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One, Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt and his Impossible Mission Force (IMF) are enlisted to track down a fearsome new weapon that has the potential to threaten all of humanity. Joining the fray is Guardians of the Galaxy’s Pom Klementieff as Paris, a new foe, while Vanessa Kirby reprises her role as the White Widow. During a sitdown with Collider’s Steve Weintraub, the pair discuss working under the direction of McQuarrie during their lengthy production process. In 2011, McQuarrie took on the task of adjusting the script for Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol at Cruise’s request. Since then, their collaboration has breathed new life into the Mission franchise, and their unique process on set is just one of the many factors of blockbuster success. During their interview, Klementieff and Kirby share what it’s like to do “40 takes of picking up a key” and why they find this method helpful. Klementieff also talks about what goes into the creation of a Mission character like Paris, the righthand man to Esai Morales’ Gabriel, and Kirby breaks down why Dead Reckoning was such a long shoot. The seventh Mission: Impossible roster introduces Hayley Atwell, Greg Tarzan Davis, and Shea Whigham to the family and sees the return of Rebecca Ferguson, Henry Czerny, and Simon Pegg.
