Well it looks like Sharon Carter’s Hayley Atwell will continue in the spy game for the foreseeable future.
After announcing a week ago that she would be joining director Christopher McQuarrie and series star Tom Cruise on the next Mission Impossible adventure, the Avengers Endgame star took to her Instagram account to expand on the news by revealing that she will be in the next TWO Mission Impossible films.
Her Instagram post reads “I’m thrilled to have joined @tomcruise and @christophermcquarrie for the next TWO Mission Impossible movies. To have gone from a classical play in the west-end to an audio book recording of a great new novel to a Disney/Marvel animation and now the female lead in a huge action franchise is the kind of variety that fuels my curiosity and keeps me learning and striving to be better and do better. I can’t wait to start sharing this adventure with you. Mostly in the form of effusive, sweaty ranting about stunt training while spontaneously vomiting with excitement/exhaustion. Lucky you.”
The next film is expected to be the first part of a two-part adventure for Ethan Hunt and crew with many expecting Rebecca Ferguson to return as well as franchise veterans Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Jeremy Renner, Michelle Monaghan, Angela Bassett and more.
The next Mission Impossible film is expected in theaters July 23, 2021 with the second part opening August 5, 2022.
