Whether the actor will return to this series or not remains a mystery.

"Let's show the movie tonight. This is like the culmination of 30 years of our career. We had a great time making it, it was so much fun. I just want you all to enjoy the movie, enjoy this," Cruise told the audience, when a reporter asked if the series had any future after this eighth installment.
