"We're starting to work on it now," Cruise told Jon Stewart on The Daily Show. "We'll probably start shooting it next summer."
Paramount has yet to officially announce a sixth Mission: Impossible, but it's a reliably profitable franchise and if Cruise is game to return as Ethan Hunt then it's pretty much a dead cert to be green-lit.
At this rate the film would be the fastest sequel in the series, given there was a gap of at least four years between the first five films.
The M:I franchise has taken $2 billion at the box office worldwide to date, and Rogue Nation will surely add to that, seeing Cruise perform more death-defying stunts.
Cruise stopped in to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon while doing promo for the movie this week, performing a sensational lip sync of The Weeknd's Can't Feel My Face.
