J.J. Abrams has revealed that he has no plans to direct Mission: Impossible IV.

The Star Trek director helmed 2006's Mission: Impossible III, starring Tom Cruise. He told MTV that he will most likely pass on steering the next sequel, but still plans to produce with Cruise.

"My guess is, given other things, that I will not be directing the movie," the 43-year-old stated.

He said of the film's story: "I don't want to give anything away yet, but I will say that it's a story that will feel consistent with the world that has been created. It's not a reboot kind of thing."

The Lost creator recently admitted that he would like Peter Graves to star in the next Mission: Impossible instalment.
