A few days ago Paramount announced a Christmas Day 2015 release date for Mission: Impossible 5. Now they’re firming up actors to join Tom Cruise, actor Simon Pegg has confirmed to MTV that he is coming back as tech specialist Benji Dunn.
He said, “Yes, absolutely. I’m looking forward to doing that. I’ve already started eating one carrot a day in order to be in shape.”
Pegg first appeared as Dunn in 2006’s Mission: Impossible III. He reprised the role in director Brad Bird’s 2011’s blockbuster Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol. Christopher McQuarrie is directing Mission: Impossible 5 from a screenplay by Drew Pearce (Iron Man 3). It has been rumoured that Ghost Protocol stars Jeremy Renner, Paula Patton and Ving Rhames will also come back, although their involvement has not been confirmed.
