Jeremy Renner Talks Mission Impossible And The Avengers!
The actor talks about joining the cast of the new Mission Impossible, addresses the rumors that he'll eventually take over the franchise from Tom Cruise and briefly touches upon his excitement for The Avengers...
On How His Career Has Changed Since His Acclaimed Performance In The Hurt Locker:
"I imagine so. It’s hard to truly understand that, because you're asking me to think what other people are thinking. But I do see more opportunities, for sure. I don’t want to say bigger opportunities, but bigger movies. I can certainly assume that it has made getting a job, or getting a better job, easier. But it doesn't change anything for me, because the decision process on wanting to do a movie is the same as it was 15 or 20 years ago."
On Joining The Cast Of Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol:
"That’s been one of those things where I think, slap my face, is this really happening? Tom Cruise calling you and saying, "You really gonna do this?" Well of course. I can't say no. This is an amazing franchise you got here, and I'd love to be a small part of it. I mean, come on, it's a no-brainer."
On Whether There Is Any Truth To The Rumors That He'll Take Over The Franchise:
"People are bananas. I don’t know anything about that. There's nothing realistic about that to me. What's true is that I'm doing "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol," and we have Brad Bird and this tremendous cast and crew.
On His Excitement For Being A Part Of The Avengers:
"And then I go do "The Avengers" and hopefully I don’t get hit by a bus, because I'd really like to go see these movies. That's all I do know to be true. People can speculate that I'm gonna sprout wings out my back and fly around this room. Okay, sure."
