Deadline Hollywood reports that The Hurt Locker star Jeremy Renner has been cast in Paramount’s Mission Impossible 4, appearing alongside Tom Cruise, Simon Pegg, and Ving Rhames.
Brad Bird is directing this third M:I sequel, which is being sold as a ‘reboot’, and Cruise is producing with JJ Abrams. Cruise also accepted to a hefty pay cut to ensure he would remain attached to the project. I’m guessing he would have done it for free if he had to– anything after the poor box office return of Knight & Day.
Renner also appears in Ben Affleck’s next directorial effort, The Town (trailer here) and will also play Hawkeye in 2012′s The Avengers, a superhero tentpole blockbuster for Marvel Studios. Seems starring the Academy’s Best Picture winner and being nominated for said role helps land some impressive gigs, no?
Brad Bird aye? First live action flick mixed with mission impossible branding im in! This should be released after the Les Grossman movie, which will generate great appeal and media for Tom Cruise, seeing as that character was the best thing his done in a looooong time
