He is a highly decorated government operative of the CIA, and a notorious extremist who has colluded with terrorist mastermind Solomon Lane and his organization known as The Apostles to accomplish their goal in creating a new world order via anarchy and genocide. He was portrayed by Henry Cavill.
The former MI6 agent, Solomon Lane, was a threat to Ethan Hunt and the world in both Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, and Mission: Impossible – Fallout. Lane is the only antagonist to battle Ethan Hunt across two films, and even with his supposed death, it's impossible to know for sure.
Hunt "erases all of the weaknesses we have ever noticed in any of these screen heroes". He is unlike Bourne in knowing his status as "a good guy" and unlike Bond in not womanizing, having cared about only two women.
Gabriel is the main antagonist of the 2023 spy action film Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning and will return in its upcoming 2025 sequel Mission: Impossible 8.
So, when Kittridge is trying to get the key, it's not because he's suddenly become some kind of villain. He's still very much on the "good guys" side, despite not seeing eye to eye with Ethan about how to move forward on this one.
The way Henry Czerny plays Kittridge, he's never actually the villain, but we sure kind of want him to be the villain. (Ethan, having enough, then blows up an aquarium and runs away.) Kittridge is a perfect character. But then, that was it.
Actress: Michelle Monaghan portrays Ethan Hunt's wife Julia Meade in Mission: Impossible III. Role: Julia Meade became Julia Hunt when she married Ethan, not knowing about his double life as an Impossible Mission Force field agent.
Julia Anne Meade is the wife of Ethan Hunt. She didn't know about him working for Impossible Mission Force until after Ethan had to rescue her from getting held hostage by Owen Davian. Later, her death was faked in Croatia, as Ethan found out that they had to be separated in order to keep her safe.

Ethan was starting his real(personal) life this time, not as an agent working under cover, but as Ethan Hunt himself, that's why he introduced himself to his love, and her family as what he actually was.. introducing himself as someone else would be covering up his true identity from his loved ones..
Ethan Hunt's enemies love to work in the shadows, and they don't come more shadowy than the sinister Solomon Lane. Effectively played in raspy-voiced fashion by British scene-stealer Sean Harris, Lane has exerted a global web of deadly anarchists known as the Syndicate.
James "Jim" Phelps is the main antagonist of the 1996 film, Mission: Impossible. He is the original head of the IMF and the former mentor-turned-archenemy of Ethan Hunt, who became a mole selling top secret IMF information.
Prior to his betrayal by Phelps, Ethan saw him as his father figure and respected him. However, after being betrayed, he lost all of his faith in Phelps and saw his as criminal who deserved to die. He would not learn the truth until 2014. Ethan is incredibly intelligent, and almost recklessly daring in his missions.
What happened to Ethan Hunt's wife after Mission: Impossible 3?
Michelle Monaghan's Julia, Ethan's kidnapped fiancee in Mission: Impossible III, becomes his wife and hides from harm after a faked death in Ghost Protocol, then fully exits the franchise in Fallout, where she's re-introduced with a new husband.
Of course, Hunt didn't let that happen and went on his own mission to find out who was the IMF mole working with arms dealer Max (Vanessa Redgrave). Kittridge was on Hunt's tail throughout, but Ethan managed to evade capture long enough to discover the mole was Hunt's mentor Jim Phelps (Jon Voight).
After a tense standoff in one of the rear luggage cars (during which Phelps takes the money from Ethan), Claire reveals she feels guilty about what she has done and tries to prevent Phelps from killing Hunt, causing Phelps to kill her instead.
Did Ethan sleep with Claire in Mission: Impossible?
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.”
Grace's decision not to take the money was “her moment of reckoning,” Atwell said, crediting Kirby with pulling off that pivotal turn, which sets up the character's future in part two.
Why did Ethan and Julia get divorced in Mission: Impossible?
Ethan and Julia gaze at each other, until Julia went to meet some friends at a nearby restaurant. They get divorced, when Ethan decides not to sit around while the world is in danger. They reunite when Ethan and his team are on a mission. They are still friends and help Ethan's team out.
In order to fake his own death, Jim called an abort order, telling his agents to fall back with Jim leaving the safe house to meet Ethan at a nearby bridge. Jim quickly reports to Ethan via comm-link that he is being followed. Jim fakes being shot and falling into the river below which Ethan sees via video link.
Jon Voight appears in the original Mission: Impossible movie as Jim Phelps, an IMF team leader who is eventually revealed to be a mole. Phelps uses his position to betray his team to their enemies, causing everyone to be killed with the exception of Ethan Hunt, who hunts down and kills his former superior.
In 1993, Gabriel was responsible for killing a woman named Marie whom Ethan Hunt was involved with - thus earning Ethan's enmity in the process. As a result, Ethan was blamed for Marie's death and only escaped prison by becoming a member of the Impossible Mission Force.
Grace Shelby's death in Peaky Blinders was necessary for the show to continue because it prevents Tommy from finding happiness and gives him a reason to seek revenge. Grace's death adds emotional depth to Tommy's character by allowing viewers to sympathize with his grief and guilt.
Alex Le Domas betrays his new wife, Grace, to preserve his family's wealth and status, ultimately leading to his own demise as the last surviving member of the cursed family.
