Mission: Impossible 7 has added five more actors to its
already sprawling ensemble cast: Cary Elwes, Indira Varma, Rob Delaney, Charles
Parnell and Mark Gatiss have joined the upcoming action-adventure film.
Separately, Paramount Pictures also confirmed that Greg
Tarzan Davis (“Top Gun: Maverick”) will also star in the film.
The actors join an already hefty ensemble, including
returning stars Vanessa Kirby, Rebecca Ferguson, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg,
Angela Bassett and Henry Czerny, as well as newcomers Pom Klementieff
(“Guardians of the Galaxy”), Hayley Atwell (“Captain America: The First
Avenger”), Shea Whigham (“Perry Mason”) and Esai Morales (“Titans”) — who
replaced Nicholas Hoult last year as the film’s villain when “M:I-7” had to
shut down due to the pandemic.
The nature of the roles for the new cast isn’t clear, but in
photos McQuarrie posted to Instagram, Delaney can be seen wearing a military
uniform, and Elwes’ photo includes the cryptic caption “Welcome to The
Community.” McQuarrie’s captions for each photo also include the hashtag
“#MI7MI8,” suggesting that the actors will reprise their roles in the eighth
“Mission: Impossible” movie, but a rep for Paramount would only confirm the
actors’ involvement in “M:I-7.”
The seventh and eighth “Mission: Impossible” movies were
supposed to film back-to-back, but Cruise’s promotional duties for “Top Gun:
Maverick,” which the pandemic pushed from its 2020 release to July 2, 2021,
scuttled those plans. “M:I-7” and “M:I-8” are still set to debut in Nov. 2021
and Nov. 2022, respectively.
In December, Cruise made international headlines when audio
of him yelling at “Mission: Impossible 7” crew members for breaking COVID-19
production protocols leaked
