In Mission: Impossible 7 – Dead Reckoning Part One, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his IMF team don’t have to deal with a human as the main villain for the first time. Instead, they fight against the so-called entity. Behind this is an extremely advanced artificial intelligence, which we will simply explain to you here.
Warning, there will be spoilers towards the end at the end of Mission: Impossible 7!
What is the entity in Mission: Impossible 7?
The entity is an artificial intelligence or artificial intelligence that is so advanced that it has developed its own consciousness. The entity can control, manipulate or control all digital processes. In Mission: Impossible 7, for example, she succeeds in distorting faces when recognizing them on screens or almost letting Ethan run to his death over the radio with the perfectly imitated voice of Benji (Simon Pegg).
However, the entity’s greatest power is its ability to to predict all developments of the characters involved in the plot. The artificial intelligence knows every step of those involved in advance, which is why all actions have to be thought through very carefully – and most of the time what was prophesied by the entity still happens.
What is the entity’s plan in Mission: Impossible 7
The entity’s master plan will not be revealed until the end of the latest installment in the action series. The only thing that is certain is that artificial intelligence most afraid of Ethan Hunt who wants to wipe them out. The entity has chosen Ethan’s archenemy Gabriel (Esai Morales) as a human chess piece to protect the AI.

What’s next for the entity after Mission: Impossible 7?
In the finale of the seventh Mission: Impossible part, it is revealed that the entity was smuggled aboard the Russian submarine Sevastopol, which has revolutionary cloaking technology. The artificial intelligence should destroy the ship before it became too powerful for the Americans. In the process, the AI developed its own consciousness.
In the end, Ethan Hunt is informed by Gabriel’s henchman Paris (Pom Klementieff) that the entity’s central control unit has changed on board the wrecked submarine on the seabed located. Since Ethan was able to collect both halves of the key in the showdown, with which the AI can be cracked and deactivated in a way, he will go there as soon as possible in Mission: Impossible 8.
