Monaghan, who co-starred with Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible III and Fallout, revealed that her entry into the spy franchise was thanks to being excised from the 2005 film Constantine, starring Reeves. Monaghan explained that the director of Constantine, Francis Lawrence, was a close friend of J.J. Abrams, who was directing the new Mission: Impossible film.
Abrams followed the unusual tip, looking at the deleted scenes. "J.J. looked at it. He said, 'Oh, I'll bring her in for an audition.' And I got the job. I mean, talk about everything happening for a reason," Monaghan said. She recently ran into Abrams at a dinner ahead of the Governor's Awards. "J.J. Abrams was there, and I was like, 'Thank you.' That movie changed my life," Monaghan recalled telling him. Abrams’ reaction was humble: "He's like, 'I was a baby.' He's like, 'I can't believe they let me direct that movie.'"
J.J. Abrams’ Direction That Made Her Action Scene Look So Cool
Monaghan credited Abrams with a piece of direction that elevated her performance in a major action sequence on the Mission Impossible film. "I said, 'Remember, I had to do the action sequence, and it's toward the end, and I've got the gun in my hand, and I'm sliding down the wall.'"
The advice that made her look like a seasoned spy? "Michelle, put your chin down and put your eyes up, really slow." Monaghan noted she was learning basic elements, like hitting her mark, and learned professionalism from the top: "I write a thank you to everyone on set. Things like that, that was the way in which Tom leads." Her return for the conclusion of her character's arc in Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018), directed by Christopher McQuarrie, was equally meaningful: "I just love that final scene that Julia and Ethan have together in [Mission Impossible 6]. It was very fulfilling and validating for me."
