Hollywood star Jeremy Renner, who featured in two Mission: Impossible films, including Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011) and Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015), has spoken about why he refused to star in Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018).
Renner, who was asked to reprise the character of IMF agent William Brandt in Fallout, spoke during a podcast that he was offered a role that required him to shoot for one week so that his character, Brandt, could be killed off. "I remember they tried to bring me over [seas] for a week so they could kill my character, and I was like, âNo, you don't get to do that. You're not going to drag me over there and just kill my character'," Renner said. "If you're going to do this and you're going to use my character, you're going to do it right. I yelled at [director Christopher McQuarrie]. Dude, you're not going to do this to me like that; you're not going to do me wrong," Renner added.
The actor never returned to the Mission: Impossible franchise after Rogue Nation, although he said in an interview that he would be open to coming back.
