Shaun of the Dead star Simon Pegg claims that the upcoming fourth Mission Impossible movie will feel more like a franchise reboot than another sequel.

In an interview with Screen Crave, Pegg stated that fans of the espionage franchise need not worry about the series growing stale and repetitive…

“When a film goes into number four you’re like, ‘Isn’t this just like flogging a dead horse now?’ But what they’ve done is they’ve brought in a director [Brad Bird] who’s never done live action before but who’s had a 100% hit rate for his previous movies,”

He then compared Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol to the upcoming Spider-Man reboot…

“It’s a rebirth for the series. In the same way with what they’ve done with Spider-Man. I feel like it’s a reinvigoration of this particular story. It was a series when it was on TV, so it’s a story that can have so many iterations. There are so many adventures to get into with this team of impossible mission fighters.”

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol hits cinemas on December 16.
