Shea Whigham signed on for Mission Impossinle 7 & 8

[Khanimus]

Hell yeah.

He'll be joining Pom Klementieff, who is also set to appear in both. 7&8 will be filming back-to-back.

I feel like they owe Brad Bird a lot of money for rejuvenating that franchise.

 

[Brazil]

I actually hadn't realized we were already up for #7.

It's crazy how good the franchise is nowadays.

Ghost Protocol is great, but I wouldn't discount what JJ did with MI 3 either.

 

[Vonocourt]

Hell yeah, I mark out every time I see him in a pop up in a small role.

One of my favorite character actors going right now.

 

[LewieP]

Great actor

 

[StrangerDanger]

Filming back to back?! Jeez i wonder how they will top Tom Cruise flying fighter jets....

Truth. MI3 was the real shot in the arm the series needed.

3 felt very understated as if it was going back to basics, real gruntwork stuff. Definitely thought it was one of the best directions the movie could take and PSH was amazing.

I dont know who Whigham gonna play , but I hope Ving Rhames gets to break that character's nose in a comedic fashion .

 

[lazybones18]

Can he play someone other than an asshole?

 

[Hark]

Chris McQuarrie is such a great dude. Can't wait for these.

Never seen him play anything other than bitter cop/military guy. But he plays that role well.

I have, though I don't remember his character.

 

[BobLoblaw]

My first exposure to him was Boardwalk Empire, which he was great in. He looks perpetually angry, which bodes well if he's cast as a villain.

 

[The Bookerman]

Hell yeah.

He actually goes and becomes a NASA astronaut to fly a spaceship to the ISS, in order to intercept the main villain there who's poised to launch a super weapon from space.

 

[Ithil]

We need a tough law enforcement captain.

 

[Dr Doom]

He's the new Director

 

[Deleted member 1476]

Back to back, huh.

He's the new Director

Oh shit, this. He's used to being an asshole law enforcement boss.
