This movie also has a sequence set in Casablanca, with Ferguson in it. Tom Cruise's first celebrity crush was Ingrid Bergman in Notorious (1946).The theme that runs like a quick-burning fuse through “Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation” is the tricky relationship between inevitability and chance - or luck, rather, as signaled by the brief appearance of a rabbit’s foot in one of Tom Cruise’s more brutal action sequences.

Both characters foreshadow Ilsa Faust's role in the film. Ferguson's character in this film is named Ilsa Faust, this is a reference to Bergman's character, Ilsa Lund from Casablanca (1942), a European star-crossed lover who falls for an American, and the German legend Faust, where the title character makes an ill-fated deal with the devil. Rebecca Ferguson bears a slight resemblance to Ingrid Bergman.This is the only Mission: Impossible film to date, where Ethan Hunt is not in the last scene of the movie.At times, he was suspended on the aircraft five thousand feet in the air. Tom Cruise performed the sequence where Ethan Hunt climbs on the outside of a flying airplane (an Airbus A400M) without the use of visual effects or a stunt double.

Cruise was injured six times during the making of this movie.
