Nicholas Hoult has joined the cast of Mission: Impossible 7. Director Christopher McQuarrie broke the news over Instagram before it was picked up by THR. No details on his role were provided, but the trade believes that he will play a villain.

Hoult, who narrowly missed out on landing the part of Bruce Wayne/Batman in Matt Reeves' upcoming reboot, is best known for playing Beast in Fox's now defunct X-Men franchise, and has also appeared in the likes of Mad Max: Fury Road, Tolkien, and The Favorite.

He now joins fellow MI newcomers Shea Whigham (Kong: Skull Island), Hayley Atwell (Captain America: TFA) and Pom Klementieff (Avengers: Endgame), while Tom Cruise and Rebecca Ferguson will return as Ethan Hunt and Ilsa Faust.

McQuarrie will write and direct the next two Mission: Impossible films, which are set to hit theaters on July 23, 2021, and Aug. 5, 2022.

Loved him in The Favourite. Would definitely dig seeing him play a villain.

Can’t wait for Ethan Hunt to end him. On a side note I’m really excited for the next two Mission Impossible movies.

Good actor but all I can think of is him singing Killing Me Softly with Hugh Grant accompanying on the guitar...

Wish he had gotten the Batman role, but being in a successful film franchise instead is a nice consolation...

Nicholas Hoult is a really talented actor that’s been on the cusp of being an A-lister for the last decade, maybe no more X-Men can finally let that happen

Cool he's a great actor, don't think I've seen him in any villainous roles! I think he could totally be a good evil genius sort of antagonist!

At this point it feels like the Mission Impossible franchise is a safe haven for actors down on their luck.
