Please Reboot the Mission: Impossible TV Show

CBS: Please reboot the Mission: Impossible TV show
The 2 most recent Mission: Impossible films have been box office successes, allowing a TV show to ride off the success of those films.
The original series was well-received enough that the grandparents who watched the original series would want to see the new series.

Mostly, the movies have a serious problem that a TV show would fix.
Problems=opportunities to make money.
Here's the problem: We've had 5 Mission: Impossible movies, and in 4 of them, Ethan doesn't have the support of the IMF for the most important parts of the film. The characters are always shocked to have no IMF support, but the audience isn't anymore because we have barely any concept of what the IMF even is. We see a few shots of the inside of the IMF during the cold open of Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, and that's the best we've had in over 11 years.
Of course, having Tom Cruise in a TV show would be insanely expensive. Getting someone like Michelle Monaghan, Rebecca Ferguson, or even Sean Harris to play in a TV show would be insanely expensive.
So don't show them.
If you focus the show on a different team of agents, not only can you keep the budget down, but you can help people get an even BETTER sense of what having full IMF support is like.
The tricky part is appeasing the fans of the action-adventure-style films and the very-different original TV show so you can capture 2 or even 3 generations of viewers.

Regardless, it would be profitable for you, because people would want to watch the show and PERHAPS even subscribe to the the online streaming service.

Age of Ultron as a Hawkeye Movie

We sometimes say that Tony is the ultimate antagonist of the MCU. We sometimes say that Avengers: Age of Ultron is a movie more about Hawkeye than any other character. But it turns out: You could rewrite Age of Ultron in a way that takes out Cap, Thor, Hulk, and Nat and you would have effectively the same movie. The plot of Avengers: Age of Ultron  is pretty simple: When Tony Stark gets manipulated into creating a robot to protect the planet that goes awry, the rest of the Avengers try to stop the robot from destroying the earth. Cap, Thor, Hulk, and Nat don't actually help  Ultron or the Avengers to succeed in their goals. So let's re-imagine Age of Ultron  as a solo Hawkeye movie. In this version, Hawkeye becomes the main character, and b ecause of their traumatic experiences involving Stark, Wanda and Lame Quicksilver are still villains. Tony is rewritten as an obvious villain, giving us 4 major villains:  Tony, Wanda, Lame Quicksilver, and Ultron, ...
