A Gladly Accepted Mission

Is Jeremy Renner the next Tom Cruise?

Well, at least when it comes to the Mission: Impossible franchise, that is?

It seems the answer is…maybe.

Renner will co-star with the Cruiseter in the upcoming fourthquel as an operative, natch – one that may carry the franchise should its star…uh…retire.

It’s a good choice. Renner showed in The Hurt Locker he’s got the chops and he gives this affable vibe off screen…. My interest is definitely peaked.
