In recent weeks there has been a swirl of rumors surrounding the production of Mission Impossible: 5, but it has been confirmed that Tom Cruise and Simon Pegg will both be back, Chris McQuarrie will be in the director's chair, and the script was written by Drew Pearce and re-written by Will Staples. Also, just yesterday it was confirmed that Avengers and Bourne Legacy star Jeremy Renner will be reprising his role as Agent Brandt from Ghost Protocol. There's no official word yet on whether Paula Patton will reprise her role for MI: 5 yet.
During an interview with Yahoo, Jeremy was asked about whether he would be involved with True Detective, but he said he would not be joining the show due to time restraints involving several big projects, on top of the fact that he would not be interested in joining anyways: "It’s kind of unlikely. In fact, I’m kind of strapped time-wise doing Avengers 2, and Mission: Impossible 5 is rearing its head, and then they want to do another Bourne movie. It’s unlikely I can find the time right now. And that’s all right. It’s just really high-class problems — pretty awesome to have. Even if I really wanted to do it, which I don’t, I couldn’t."
This isn't exactly a confirmation from Paramount regarding his return to the franchise, but it sure sounds like he's very confident he's returning. I sure hope he does return, I loved his character in Ghost Protocol. Until then, Jeremy's going to be pretty busy with Avengers: Age of Ultron, Bourne 5, and Kill the Messenger. Renner also has an upcoming guest role on FX's Louie, as well as doing the narration for last month's The World Wars miniseries on the History Channel.
Avengers: Age of Ultron will be coming to theaters May 1, 2015. The unnamed Bourne 5 will be released during the summer of 2015. Mission: Impossible 5 is scheduled to be released Christmas Day in 2015.
