In Mission: Impossible - Fallout we meet the character of White Widow (Vanessa Kirby), an arms dealer, on some party in Paris. In her speech she commemorates her mother, naming her "Max".

In the first Mission: Impossible movie in the series, the 1996 Brian de Palma one, Max is the name (or an alias) of Vanessa Redgrave's character, also an arms dealer, who is the movie's antagonist.

Could it be the same Max? Is Fallout's White Widow the daughter of Vanessa Redgrave's character? Is there some confirmed information on the subject?
