2015 is shaping up to be huge for franchise films, with sequels due for everything from STAR WARS to JURASSIC PARK to MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE. The latter’s fifth instalment was recently given a concrete release date of Christmas Day 2015, and now its cast is starting to take shape.
Tom Cruise signed on back in May – it wouldn’t be a MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE film without him – and, while promoting the Blu-ray release of his latest film THE WORLD’S END, Simon Pegg told MTV that he’ll be returning to the role of Benji Dunn:
‘Absolutely. I’m looking forward to that. I’ve already started eating one carrot a day in order to be in shape.’
Pegg’s character Dunn first made an appearance in the J.J. Abrams-directed MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE III, with his role extended further for 2011’s MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – GHOST PROTOCOL.
Christopher McQuarrie is set to direct MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 5 from a script by IRON MAN 3 writer Drew Pearce. It’s due for release on 25th December, 2015.
