Key Word: no.

The focus of this franchise has always been Ethan Hunt. If that were not the case, then why does the first one start with the offing of his "team?" Why does the second and third ones focus on his love life, and not the love life of, say, Luther?

The focus of these films, even in the framework of a "team," has, was, and always will be Ethan Hunt.

This isn't Ocean's 14.

No, they actually didn't. There's a reason why CROOZE's name is above everyone else's. There's a reason why the focus is ALWAYS on him, and HIS team.
