Ilsa Faust, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One
Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt might be the star of the series, but the past several movies elevated themselves above the rest because of Isla Faust. Rebecca Ferguson’s incredible spy character was as cunning and kick-ass as they come, always a step ahead of Ethan and his crew. Even when she teamed up with them, she still felt somehow superior. It was certainly sad to see her go in Dead Reckoning Part One, but someone had to go to make it clear why the villain in this film is so formidable. And, short of Ethan himself, no one could do it as well as Ilsa.
