Jeremy Renner To Take Mission: Impossible From Tom Cruise?

Eight years ago, Jeremy Renner was an obscure actor in his thirties earning arthouse attention for his portrayal of a repressed cannibal in Dahmer. And now, nearly 40, he’s a superhero who just picked up a blockbuster franchise. The Hurt Locker star confirmed to MTV News that he’s set to take over the Mission: Impossible series from Tom Cruise. “It’s a franchise to potentially take over,” he admits. “I can’t predict the future and what they want, but that’s certainly the idea.” The pair are currently at work on the fourth, M:I film, currently titled Ghost Protocol. That sounds like a movie about Goldie Hawn teaming up with a dead Bill Cosby to us, but we may have seen too many ’80s comedies.
Renner—who will play super-archer Hawkeye in the upcoming Avengers film—is naturally staying on Cruise’s good side. “The stunts have been insane,” he said about the shoot. “Tom has been doing loads. He’s crazy, that guy. It’s unbelievable. He’s fearless. He’s great to watch. He inspires me to want to be better. I’m training in the gym and working out and fighting and doing everything I can to try and keep up…I need to look like I know what I’m doing!” You’re definitely doing something right, Jeremy!
