There’s an interesting (if very slightly spoilery) element to the eighth Mission: Impossible film – the identiy of the agent chasing Ethan Hunt…

Played by Shea Wigham, we first meet Jasper Briggs in Dead Reckoning. He and Degas, played by Greg Tarzan Davis, are the two CIA agents tasked with bringing Ethan and co in as they go off book Yet Again. At the time, it’s clear that Briggs has a deep personal dislike of Ethan but we don’t find out why until the end of Final Reckoning’s first act.
