Who is Ethan Hunt's love interest in Dead Reckoning?
The Big Picture. Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One mishandles the death of Ilsa, Ethan's love interest, and fails to let him properly grieve.
As for Ilsa, she nearly ended up sharing a kiss with Ethan in a move that would have ramped their will-they-won't-they relationship up a notch. In the scene, the pair fought over Ilsa's desire to kill big bad Solomon Lane, and ultimately kiss – a sequence which was shot, and featured in early cuts of the movie.
Mission: Impossible 7's teases of an Ethan and Ilsa romance also speak to McQuarrie's other point. After two movies of a will-they-won't-they dynamic, it felt like the Ethan and Ilsa subplot needed to go somewhere, and having them end up together just didn't seem like the best option for the story or the characters.
Summary. Rebecca Ferguson explains that part of why Isla was killed in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning was because she didn't want the character to become a "team player". Ferguson also reveals that the franchise's production style resulted in a lot of time spent on the sidelines, and she wanted to work more.
Ethan's long-running IMF cohorts Luther Stickell (Ving Rhames) and Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg) will be back, but Rebecca Ferguson's Ilsa Faust was killed by Gabriel (Esai Morales) so won't be returning.

She saves Ethan's life multiple times but has no problems of manipulating or betraying him to fulfill her mission for MI6 and the Syndicate. Saving his life and, using subtle manipulation, she keeps Ethan off balance and uses his curiosity about her to deceive him and makes him do what she wants.
It's pretty heavily implied before the finale in Fallout that Ethan cares for her as much as he cares about Julia, and it's obvious around this time that Ilsa feels the same way about Ethan.
Director Christopher McQuarrie insists that Ilsa's death in Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One was meant to be a heroic and impactful moment, and he has no plans to bring her character back in the sequel.
“I hope to keep making Mission: Impossible films until I'm his age.” Christopher McQuarrie, who directed Dead Reckoning, Rogue Nation and Fallout, and is helming Mission: Impossible 8 as well, has also said that the seventh and eighth films aren't the end of the franchise.
The film features the death of one of the main Mission: Impossible cast members, Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson), who is killed during a fight with Gabriel. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight promoting Dune: Part Two, Ferguson opened up about Ilsa Faust's death in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning.

Did Ethan and Claire (Emmanuelle Beart) sleep together? Yes. ”There was a love scene on the train after they recruit” disavowed agents Luther and Krieger (Ving Rhames and Jean Reno), says De Palma, ”but it wasn't essential.”
And they weren't the only ones: Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt was charmed by her, too. But when Ferguson and her costar Simon Pegg spoke to Insider ahead of "Dead Reckoning Part One," she explained that Faust and Hunt aren't together because it would be "boring" to separate the cast into couples.
Ethan meets with Alanna at the Quai de Seine in Paris after getting free with Lane. She asks him to bring Lane to London and to capture Ilsa and deliver her as well, they have made a deal by delivering a kiss.
In the latest instalment of Tom Cruise's spy-action saga, Rebecca Ferguson's Ilsa Faust met an unfortunate ending, being killed by the film's antagonist Gabriel after a chase through the streets of Venice in order to save Grace (Hayley Atwell).
That night, Ilsa confronts Rick in the deserted cafe. When he refuses to give her the letters, she threatens him with a gun, but then confesses that she still loves him.
"Here's looking at you, kid," when Rick said it in Paris, implied a childlike sense of an interminable present, when the looking promised to last forever. The playful "kid" at the end suggests the innocence of Rick and Ilsa's love.
For Casablanca to fit this outline, Ilsa would have to declare her love for either Laszlo or Rick and leave with her choice, and the rejected male would let her go without a struggle because his love was so great that above all else he wished for her happiness.
Why did Rebecca Ferguson leave Mission Impossible 8?
Ilsa was unpredictable. There was a lot of characters coming in, not leaving enough space for what she had been." Ferguson noted that she had only signed on for three Mission: Impossible films, and that she had a choice about whether to return for the next film.
However, Renner is not among the confirmed cast of Mission: Impossible 8, which includes fan favorites such as Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, and Simon Pegg.
These ideas have quite definitively been shut down, with Ilsa's death playing too big of a role in the larger franchise narrative and Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning's ending to be reversed. This seemingly ruled out the chance that audiences would see Ferguson return to the franchise.
