Ilsa Faust is portrayed by Swedish actress Rebecca Ferguson in Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, Mission: Impossible – Fallout, Mission: Impossible 7 and Mission: Impossible 8.
Tom Cruise handpicked Ferguson to star opposite him in the film after watching her in The White Queen. She reprised her role in the sixth Mission: Impossible film, Mission: Impossible – Fallout, in 2018.
The upcoming sequels will introduce new characters played by Hayley Atwell, Nicholas Hoult, Pom Klementieff, and Shea Whigham, but they are also bringing back many familiar characters. This doesn’t just include some of Mission: Impossible ‘s biggest stars, though, as even some long-forgotten characters will return.
But there are plot threads picked up in this movie that date all the way back to Mission: Impossible 3, when we first met Julia (Michelle Monaghan), the love of Ethan Hunt’s life. Early trailers hinted at the fact that Monaghan’s character would return in Fallout, and those who have seen the movie know the pivotal role that she plays.
Where does Ilsa go in The Syndicate?
Ilsa travels to Casablanca, Morocco, leaving tracks for Benji and Ethan, and stays in a house in Morocco where she trains to stay underwater. The next day, she is visited by Ethan and Benji, where she explains that Lane was a former British intelligence agent and that the Syndicate was created by them. Lane had a ledger containing information about the Syndicate that had been stolen by an agent who was hoping to blackmail him. The agent died during the interrogation and the registry can only be retrieved from a secure server room under a power plant by modifying the access control data stored in an underwater turbine tank. Ilsa was sent by Lane to do it. The three design a plan to steal the ledger in which Ethan will go underwater without oxygen tanks to avoid detection and change access profile so that Benji can access the server and steal the ledger. They succeed, but Ethan cannot open the service hatch to exit. She follows him and saves him as he faints from lack of oxygen. She opens the hatch and takes Ethan to safety. She reanimates him using a defibrillator. Benji arrives with the ledger and mentions that he misjudged her. She electrocuted Benji and escaped with the ledger. Syndicate agents wait for her to accompany her with motorcycles. She toppled them with her motorcycle and fled. During the chase, Ethan follows her and takes the agents. Ilsa stops and suddenly passes in front of Ethan to make him crash to avoid colliding her. She then escapes with the ledger.

A bomb is attached to Benji’s chest. They explained to Ethan that she would kill him and Benji after the trade or Lane would blow them up. Ethan reveals that the ledger was destroyed and he had memorized the bank accounts. Lane is forced to disarm the bomb and orders his men to kill Ilsa and capture Ethan alive.
They realize that Atlee has erased her version. Ilsa offers Ethan with three options; go to the CIA, let her go with the record to Solomon or run away with her. Ethan realizes she was going to send him a message. Ilsa warns him that she can no longer save his life, then activates her phone and jams their communications. Benji is kidnapped and she runs away from the scene. Lane uses Benji to force Ethan to activate the general ledger. This will allow the Syndicate to access huge funds to keep them running for decades.
Ilsa is responsible for killing Lane to prove her own loyalty and follows an armored prisoner convoy transporting the anarchist to an unknown location, but he is apprehended by Ethan and his team. Chasing Ethan and Lane on a motorcycle, Ilsa tries to kill Lane, but misses it as Ethan runs over her.
Ilsa is pursued by Vinter and she tries to make a sneak attack, but it fails and both find themselves in a knife fight. Both are injured, but Ilsa is able to climb on him and impale his chest, killing him.
Six months later, Ilsa is tasked by the Syndicate to assassinate the Chancellor of Austria at the Vienna Opera House, Austria, in order to demonstrate her loyalty to the organization.
