Rebecca Ferguson's character as IIsa Faust
No wonder, her outstanding performance made her reprise the role three times. Torn between duty and redemption, Ilsa Faust is a skilled MI6 operative turned Syndicate assassin, who is trained in the halls of British intelligence. She infiltrated the ranks of this rogue organisation as a deadly assassin, all while playing a long game against her sinister former colleagues. Now, fate throws her onto the same side as Ethan Hunt and his IMF team, leaving her loyalties as shrouded in mystery as her past.
Rebecca Ferguson shares her experience working with Tom Cruise
Recently in an interview with Radio Times, the actress talked about her work in Dead Reckoning Part One. Although this is the third time she worked with Tom Cruise, she was amazed each time with his work. Rebecca shared that she has learnt a lesson from the action star, and that she's going to follow her whole life. She said that Cruise is a very happy person. Despite being a professional movie star, he is very kind and driven, and gave her several opportunities.
“He expects the best of everyone. That’s probably the one thing I’ve really taken with me. If you can’t deliver, that’s fine, you always look for other solutions. But he’s the first one on set and the last one out. If you ask that everyone be their best selves, you need to deliver that for yourself. And he does”, Rebecca told Radio Times.
