Henry Cavill joins Mission Impossible 6 in the sneakiest, most spy-like manner

Actor Henry Cavill is teaming up with Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise for the sixth installment in the Mission Impossible series.

Director Christopher McQuarrie took to Instagram to break the news that the Superman star will be joining the American action spy movie with Cruise in the lead.

“Say, @henrycavill. Had a thought. Curious if you’re interested in a role in the 6th installment of Mission: Impossible. No pressure,” wrote McQuarrie.

The director-actor duo had a humorous exchange when McQuarrie said, “Just a few caveats: must enjoy extreme heights, high speeds, motor vehicles of all varieties (especially aircraft), practical stunts, firearms, and sporadic exposition. All good?”

To this Cavill replied, “Oh ok... I’m in!” and the director wrote back with, “Outstanding. Welcome aboard. Your social media account will self-destruct in five seconds.”

Mission: Impossible 6 will hit the US theatres on July 27, 2018.
