In 2020, Christopher McQuarrie and Tom Cruise discussed collaborating on a movie together with a "harder edge,"[1] that they later nicknamed The Gnarly Movie.[2] During production of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two in August 2022, it was reported that the two were planning ideas for their subsequent collaborations,[3] and McQuarrie later stated that he was writing the film with his Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning co-writer Erik Jendresen.[4] As preparation for production began, the film was titled Broadsword and linked to Warner Bros. Pictures,[5] where Cruise had set up a partnership deal.[6]
