Mission: Impossible 7 director Christopher McQuarrie explains the Entity villain coincides with rising anxiety about technology and the threat of AI.
Warning: This post contains major spoilers for Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One.Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One director explains the thought-processing behind choosing the next major threat, coinciding with present-day tensions about AI. With Ethan Hunt choosing to accept another mission, the IMF team is sent to find a key that can take down a dangerous new sentient AI, the Entity.
"Very early conversations, probably the earliest conversations about this were in 2018/2019, and we were looking for the villain, the next threat in Mission. We've done nuclear threats, we've done chemical threats, biological threats, you did the Rabbit's Foot, and God knows what threat that was.
I felt, in the zeitgeist, this anxiety about technology and what and how technology was beginning to influence our lives, and how do we take that anxiety that the audience is bringing to the movie and give them a release? That's really what the movie boils down to. When you go to see Top Gun in 1986, the Cold War was a very real thing.
Why Mission: Impossible 7's AI Is So Haunting The Entity is probably the scariest villain that Ethan has faced, given its ability to calculate his every move. Setting aside what it can do in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, the threat of the Entity lies in how difficult it can be to stop. With its mechanical and technological framework, Ethan endures the difficult task of taking down an adversary that's not easily tactile and sentient.
