Imagine flying overseas to shoot a movie, only to realize that your character shall die after a few scenes. A similar experience happened with Jeremy Renner when he was approached for the movie ‘Fallout’. Jeremy’s ‘Mission Impossible‘ role extended from 2011’s ‘Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol’ to 2015’s ‘Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation‘.
Jeremy was asked to reprise his role of IMF agent William Brandt in the 2018 movie sequel. But he dropped the role because, apparently his character will be dead after one week of shooting.
Jeremy Renner Rejected The Role Of Brandt In ‘Mission: Impossible – Fallout’
Jeremy Renner was supposed to be part of the 2018 ‘Mission Impossible’ franchise but the actor had a condition regarding his character which wasn’t fulfilled. During an interview with Variety, the actor revealed that his character was supposed to die after a few appearances in the movie and he didn’t agree with that part.
Jeremy said, “I remember they tried to bring me over[seas] for a week so they could kill my character, and I was like, ‘No, you don’t get to do that. You’re not going to drag me over there and just kill my character,’ like get out of here!”
He added, “If you’re going to do this and you’re going to use my character, you’re going to do it right.” Renner even yelled at the director Christopher McQuarrie, you’re not going to do this my character.
