Mission Impossible 8 cast adds Mindhunter’s Holt McCallany
As reported byDeadline, McCallany has joined the cast of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two, starring alongside Cruise, Hayley Atwell, Shea Wigham and Guardians of the Galaxy’s Pom Klementieff.
Plot details regarding Part Two are understandably slim, but McCallany will play Secretary of Defense Bernstein, the outlet reported.
Christopher McQuarrie, who earlier directed Rogue Nation and Fallout, has returned to mount both Dead Reckoning installments, with Cruise producing.
While they are considered industry leaders during global restrictions, both films have suffered multiple delays, with Part One due for release on July 23, 2025, and Part Two hitting cinemas on Aug 21, 2025.
Mission Impossible 7 & 8 are the “biggest” films in the franchise
In an interview withThe Hollywood Reporter, Cary Elwes – who stars in Part One in an undisclosed role – teased the scale of Dead Reckoning’s action.
He said: “I don’t think I am saying anything new when I say that the production had some difficulties and they had to shut down. So Chris McQuarrie had to direct from his computer at home because he had been contact-traced. And that is a testament to how brilliant he is, that he was able to do it.
