Unraveling the enigmatic past of Mission: Impossible 7's villain, Gabriel, becomes imperative in Dead Reckoning Part Two Dive deeper into the mysterious origins of this captivating character as death becomes just the tip of the iceberg
Esai Morales, star of Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One, hinted at a mysterious past for his villainous character in a recent interview. The seventh installment in the popular action series has been receiving positive reviews since its release, with critics applauding its thrilling stunts and fast-paced storytelling. Alongside Tom Cruise reprising his role as Ethan Hunt, the cast includes Hayley Atwell from Marvel's Agent Carter, Rebecca Ferguson from Dune, Cary Elwes from BlackBerry, and Mission: Impossible regular Simon Pegg.
In a conversation with Screen Rant, Esai Morales delved into his character Gabriel, who shares a significant history with Ethan. Morales suggested that there are undisclosed aspects of Gabriel's past that will shed light on his malevolent actions. Read the full quote below:
Screen Rant: What truly drives Gabriel at his core? He appears to be someone who derives pleasure from witnessing chaos and destruction.
Esai Morales: You see, Gabriel might have already encountered what the average person fears most. Additionally, he may possess knowledge that others lack, specifically that death marks just the start of something new.
Why Mission: Impossible's Villain Needs More Explanation In Dead Reckoning Part Two
Gabriel, the human antagonist in Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One, is not the sole malevolent force at play. The film primarily revolves around The Entity, an AI that has gained sentience and poses a significant threat to the world. Gabriel dutifully serves The Entity, performing tasks that require a physical presence and extolling its immense intelligence and power. However, his unwavering devotion to the AI remains elusive, leaving his character's depth unclear and necessitating further explanation in the upcoming Part Two.
Although Dead Reckoning has received glowing reviews, certain plot elements would benefit from additional elaboration. While Gabriel's unfeeling and strategic demeanor establishes him as a convincing villain, viewers would gain insight into the underlying motivations that drive him. Fortunately, Morales' statement suggests that future installments will address the lingering questions raised in Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One, offering fans the answers they seek.
