Uproxx reports Jeremy Renner turned down a cameo in the new **Mission: Impossible** movie.
Renner played agent William Brandt in **Ghost Protocol** and **Rogue Nation**.
Director Christopher McQuarrie says he offered Renner a scene in which Brandt is killed.
?So I said to Renner, ?Hey listen, I have this idea for an opening sequence where you sacrifice yourself to save the team, and that the mission-gone-wrong not only involves losing the plutonium, but involves the death of a team member.? And Jeremy was like, ?Thanks, but no thanks.?" Christopher McQuarrie
McQuarrie said that this means Jenner as Brandt can return to the franchise in 2021.
