PROMETHEUS Actor Sean Harris Offered MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 5 Villain Role
It seems Paramount and director Christopher McQuarrie are looking to cast a (relative) unknown as the baddie in the fifth Mission Impossible flick, as Brit actor Sean Harris (Prometheus, 24 Hour Party People) has been offered the role.
After playing silly buggers with an alien cobra and getting himself all possessed in Ridley Scott's Prometheus, Deadline report that Sean Harris is the man Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions want to cause problems for Tom Cruise and co. in Mission Impossible 5. The site report that the unnamed villain role has been offered to Harris and negotiations are under way, but nothing is certain just yet. Christopher McQuarrie will return to helm the movie after Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol made all of the money, and along with Cruse, Jeremy Renner and Simon Pegg are back on board too.
