    I am assuming Rebecca Ferguson wanted out due to her commitments to Dune and Silo and whatever else she has going on. I can’t imagine they would fake her death twice. I do hope she stays dead just because it would feel cheap to bring her back, as much as I love her in this series. I agree that Solomon Lane was a much more defined antagonist.

    I didn’t mind Grace being unable to do a lot. She’s just a thief after all. I actually kind of liked that she wasn’t just another Ethan, good at everything. But it really did feel like they fridged Ilsa to bring her in. I also couldn’t help but wish they brought back Thandiwe Newton’s character from MI2, Naya, instead. She was a skilled thief as well. I’m a little biased though, because I fell in love with her in that movie. But, that would have brought other complications, since she was also a love interest, and Newton is older.

    The car chase I loved, and the train was cool. Especially Ethan just flying right into the car, although in reality he should have broken every bone in his body, haha.
