Mission: Impossible 5 Is Bringing Back Ving Rhames

While Tom Cruise is certainly the true headliner of the Mission: Impossible franchise, he's not the only recurring star. He only had a cameo appearance at the end of Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, but Ving Rhames is the only actor other than Cruise to appear in all four of the series' titles. We had very little doubt that he wouldn't be getting the call to return for the in-development Mission: Impossible 5, but now it seems the deal is officially sealed.

If Mission: Impossible 5 director Christopher McQuarrie's official Twitter feed can be considered a reliable source, then it seems that Ving Rhames has officially come aboard for the sequel.

Mission: Impossible 5 is still in pre-production, with a script written by Iron Man 3 co-writer Drew Pearce, and Paramount Pictures currently has the film dated to be released on December 25, 2015. It's been reported that actress Rebecca Ferguson has signed on in a key role, and Alec Baldwin may be coming aboard as well.

I wanna see this one! Eeeeee! I love Tom Cruise and Ving.

Ving Rhames is a cool guy but I was never a fan of these movies. I think I saw the first MI but that's all.
