Actor Tom Cruise, who plays the iconic character in the franchise, recently announced that the sixth instalment is in works and now Paramount Pictures vice chairman Rob Moore has also endorsed the idea, reported Variety.
"We're very happy to be developing this movie with Tom. There's no question that Ethan Hunt deserves another film,' Moore said.
It was the first public comment by Paramount, who usually do not talk much about their future projects.
The studio is elated with the response their latest film "Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation" is getting at the box-office.
The film is said to have received bumper opening of USD 121 million globally.
Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, "Rogue Nation" is produced by Cruise, 53, along with J J Abrams, Bryan Burk, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Don Granger.
