It seems that despite his commitment to the Mission: Impossible franchise, director Christopher McQuarrie had the chance to helm a DC project but turned them down to do more sequels to the franchise.
In a report published by The Hollywood Reporter, the director was announced to helm two additional Mission: Impossible films as screenwriter and director. But apparently, after the critical and financial success of Mission: Impossible-Fallout the director was approached to direct a DC project. Christopher McQuarrie instead decided to take a break from directing and stay true to his friend, Tom Cruise.
