Variety reveals that Man of Steel's Henry Cavill will join Tom Cruise in the upcoming sixth installment of the Mission: Impossible franchise. No specifics have been revealed on who he will play, the trade mentions that the British actor will likely play "some sort of right hand to the head of the Cruise’s unit." Whether or not that means he'll see any action here obviously remains to be seen. 

Similar roles have been taken on by the likes of Alec Baldwin, Anthony Hopkins, Laurence Fishburne, and Tom Wilkinson in previous installments, though Cavill is obviously the youngest to date. 

Apparently, Rebecca Ferguson, Simon Pegg, and Jeremy Renner are all also expected to join Cruise and Cavill, while Christopher McQuarrie is set to take the helm of the Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation follow-up from a script he wrote. Are you excited to see Cavill take on a major role away from Superman? As always, be sure to let us know your thoughts in the comments section below. 

UPDATE: It looks like Cavill will be playing the villain of the picture, as per his manager Dany Garcia:

 

Say, @henrycavill. Had a thought. Curious if you're interested in a role in the 6th installment of Mission: Impossible. No pressure.

@528491 - Funny because Tom Cruise was originally supposed to be playing Cavill's role in The Man From U.N.C.L.E.

@NoMeaning45 - Yes! This is great. I love the Garcias. They're always open about the Rock and Henry. It's how we found out he's starting his own production company and getting hands on with Man of Steel 2.

@Kr08 - oh damn, didn't know that.


I really hope she does for him what she did for the rock

@NoMeaning45 - She will. He lives in Miami now and so does the Rock and his family. He made a great choice signing on with her and the Rock's team.

@NoMeaning45 - The chick from the last one was also a "villain"

@JohnSheppardXXL - It was clear how obvious she wasn't the villain based off of the trailers.

I really hope he plays the villain. I loved him as Napoleon Solo in Man From UNCLE, so he's done the spy thing. Now I want him to do the evil super spy thing.

@Kr08 - okay that does it. I've been meaning to watch it and my only excuse is procrastination. But that shot... is the last straw.

@Kr08 - there's times where it felt like he could've been the villain in UNCLE imo

Idk if I buy him as a villain. Maybe he'll surprise me.

Yes! As a villain, [frick] YES!
Really happy he is getting more roles, MAN from Uncle was amazing, and I loved his charismatic Solo
