So what happened to Renner aka William Brandt? As Mission: Impossible - Fallout director Christopher McQuarrie explained lớn Digital Spy, it all came down khổng lồ a case of bad timing. Renner would have been welcome to lớn return but script issues (the film actually began shooting with no script) & schedules simply could not be worked out in order to make it happen. McQuarrie said:
"At the time, when the movie started, we didn"t really have a screenplay, so it was very difficult for us khổng lồ say who would be in the movie for how long & on what days, & he had a commitment to Marvel. So there was just simply no predicting. If we had a finished script, we would have been able to say, "Yes, this will work và we can let you go for this time", but there was just no predicting what those roles were going to turn out lớn be. It was just an unfortunate case of bad timing,"
At one point during the production of Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, it was rumored that a plan was in place to gently push Tom Cruise aside & install Renner as the series" new lead. However, that didn"t end up happening and Renner found himself relegated lớn a supporting role for Rogue Nation, instead. The William Brandt arc, which saw him go from analyst lớn reluctant field agent in Ghost Protocol, then to behind-the-scenes sparring partner for Alec Baldwin"s Alan Hunley in Rogue Nation, appears to lớn have come to an end with Fallout.
Amusingly, this marks the second time in 2018 that Renner has gotten attention for his absence from a major franchise. Earlier this year, Renner"s omission from Avengers: Infinity War sparked a minor backlash from fans of his character Hawkeye, & even spawned memes imagining Hawkeye as the central figure of the film. Luckily for fans of Hawkeye, the character will be back in Avengers 4. It remains khổng lồ be seen, however if Renner and William Brandt will return for any possible franchise films beyond Mission: Impossible - Fallout. The sixth Mission: Impossible is getting great review and is tracking khổng lồ be a big hit, so it seems assured there will be at least one more movie in the series.
