Rumors abound that Brad Pitt will be replacing Tom Cruise as the next Mission: Impossible star. Apparently after the Cruise rift with Paramount, the studio is looking elsewhere to fill the blockbuster role.
According to Access Hollywood, “If Paramount was serious about continuing the Mission: Impossible franchise without Tom Cruise in the lead role, Brad Pitt is obviously well suited to fill his very big shoes.”
“He’s sexy, he’s fit, he’s an A-list star in his own right, and after playing a similar role in last year’s blockbuster Mr. & Mrs. Smith, he’s certainly got the action chops.”
