Is Cavill replacing Renner?


Is that what's happening? Cause they kind of had the 5 man team put together already. I know Renner has like these other things going on, and he's not as famous as they'd like. I'm assuming they want them Fast and Furious ensemble bucks. And I can totally see Cruise absorbing Cavill into his franchise to squash any competition from a potential Man from UNCLE franchise. It's impossible to guess from the trailers and MI's habit of a hundred red herring fakeouts.

He's an antagonist, a CIA agent who is sent by Angela Basset to observe Ethan Hunt and his team during a mission, he'll help Hunt for the first half (HALO jump, apprehending Lane, Paris nightclub) and he'll then betray them followed by foot chase and their fight on the mountains and a helicopter chase

That's just what they want us to think. He was wearing a mask the whole time!

I've read/heard the spoilers (heard from Youtube reviews that included spoiler) that what seanwhelan2310 said is pretty much right. He starts out as a good guy and then about halfway through the movie he is revealed to be the main bad guy/villain of the movie. And all I'll say is that it'll be EXTREMELY difficult for him to replace Renner in any (possible) future Mission Impossible movies.

It's hard to believe that there came a time when Renner was set to replace Cruise. The guy could barely replaced Matt Damon in the Bourne franchise.
