Jeremy Renner Had His Daddy Duties!
It was the year 2014 when Renner married Canadian model Sonni Pacheco. The couple welcomed a daughter and in 2015, Pacheco and Renner divorced while sharing custody of their daughter. During those moments, the MCU star was busy shooting the Mission: Impossible films!
Starring alongside Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol and Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, Renner portrayed the role of William Brandt. After appearing in the 2015 film, the actor had to depart from the franchise.
In an interview with Collider, Renner revealed that although he wanted to continue to star in the Mission: Impossible franchise, he couldn’t.
Yeah. I had to leave that. I was supposed to do more with them. I love those guys. I love Tom [Cruise]so much. We had so much fun, and I love that character a lot. It requires a lot of time away. It’s all in London. I had to go be a dad. It just wasn’t gonna work out then.
However, the actor further continued that since his daughter’s grown up a bit, he could make a potential return to the franchise anytime soon!
Maybe now that my daughter is older that could happen. I’d always jump into a Mission: Impossible anytime and back into Brandt. It’s great.
However, it’s all just a possibility as nothing can be confirmed or denied on the topic of Jeremy Renner’s return. On the other hand, the beloved franchise is going way over budget and fans are starting to notice it!
From crashes to malfunctions, the film’s budget is now nearer to a whopping $400 million! The recent submarine malfunction did not exactly help their case either.
Mission: Impossible 8 Is Going Way Over Budget!
With some action-heavy scenes, iconic filmography, and, Tom Cruise wanting to do every stunt himself, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two is currently under production and development.
With the countless number of items, however, it seems that the budget of the film is quite high. Back in 2023, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One was released which had a budget of $291 million (as per IMDB). Well, the upcoming eighth film in the franchise seems to go beyond the norm, and as per a report by PinkVilla… the budget is almost $100 million more than the previous film!
It was recently reported by The Mirror that a submarine malfunction cost the film an additional $25 million in production. A source close to the magazine further stated “They’re not happy as it puts production behind, which costs a lot of money per day.”
Alongside the additional $25 million, the total budget of the film is estimated to be near to $400 million! With conflicting reports and high budgets, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two is slated for a release date of 23 May 2025 in theaters across the U.S.
