The news that Monaghan was returning to the franchise was confirmed by writer/ director Christopher McQuarrie on his Instagram page. An image of Monaghan was posted to the social media website late yesterday.
Monaghan also commented on her return to the franchise on her Twitter page shortly afterwards.

McQuarrie also posted images of Simon Pegg and Rebecca Ferguson who will also be joining Cruise for the in-production sequel, which is continuing its shoot. Filming had been taking place in Paris, France, but has now relocated to New Zealand.
Cruise was pictured on the New Zealand set just yesterday wearing a New York Yankees cap, stepping out from a helicopter. The helicopter looks very similar to the one seen in the Paris scenes, but of course this may just be coincidence.
